Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook 1 cup sushi rice according to package directions, then let it cool slightly while you make the omelet.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, whisk 3 eggs with 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp soy sauce until well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium. Pour in a thin layer of egg, cook until just set, then roll it to one side. Repeat with remaining egg, rolling into a log. Let cool, then slice into strips.

  4. Step 4

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo mat or clean surface. Spread half the rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

  5. Step 5

    Lay half the egg strips and 1 tbsp pickled ginger across the center. Roll tightly, wet the border to seal, and slice into 6 pieces. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
