Ingredients

3 cups cooked sushi rice

1/4 rice vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

5-6 nori sheets (cut into 1 1/4 inch strips along the perforated lines)

1 lb Choice of filling tuna, salmon, uni, ikura, etc. (depending on how much you'd like to make)

Directions

Make the sushi rice. Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Then season the cooked rice with the mixture. Cover with a towel and bring to room temperature.

Shape the rice. Wet one hand with rice vinegar water. Shape about one tablespoon of rice in one hand by opening and closing your fingers over the rice in your palm until you shape a small oval ball about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches long.

Wrap. Take one strip of nori and gently wrap it around the rice, shiny side out. Use a single grain of rice to seal the end of the strip.

Add the filling. Gently spoon in your choice of topping into the nori cavity above the rice. Avoid pressing down on the filling.

Serve. Serve the sushi immediately with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
