Maki Sushi (Rolls)

Vinegared rice and fillings wrapped in seaweed.

40 minutes
Serves 2
Lunch/Dinner

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the sushi rice and let it cool to body temperature. Prepare all fillings by cutting them into uniform, long matchsticks.

  2. 2

    Place a bamboo rolling mat on your work surface and lay one sheet of nori shiny-side down.

  3. 3

    Wet your hands to prevent sticking, and spread a thin, even layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

  4. 4

    Lay your fillings (tuna, avocado, cucumber) horizontally in a neat line across the lower third of the rice.

  5. 5

    Lift the bottom edge of the bamboo mat, rolling it over the fillings and tucking it tightly to form a cylinder.

  6. 6

    Wet a sharp knife and slice the roll cleanly into 6-8 equal bite-sized pieces, wiping the blade between cuts.
