How to make a Sushi Roll Recipe
First, you’ll need to prepare your sushi rice. You can buy sushi rice in a variety of different forms, including boxes, bags, or rice. Make sure the rice is well-aged and of good quality. If you’re not sure how to do this, refer to the instructions provided on the box. Once you’ve got your sushi rice ready, the rest is easy.
1. Combine 5-6 rice ingredients in a rice cooker or a large bowl if you’re using a smaller cooker. You’ll need to use a non-stick pan to make sure the rice doesn’t stick.
2. Set the temperature to “Warm” or “Light” and cook for 40-50 minutes, depending on your desired texture. 3. Once the rice is cooked, make sure to let it cool completely before rolling it.
4. Once the rice is cooled, add the rest of the ingredients (salmon, cucumber, tuna, onions, etc.) and gently mix until well-combined.
5. Using a plastic knife or a metal spoon, create a seaweed-like roll and place it in the center of the rice. If you’re not sure how to do this, refer to the picture.
6. Use the plastic knife or metal spoon to gently evenly smear the mayo on top of the roll.
7. Finally, place the roll in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up the roll, making sure to leave it out of the light source so it has some time to darken slightly before being eaten. It’s okay if the roll appears a little “wet” or “thick” when it comes out of the refrigerator. This is normal and expected.
