Buy the right kind of rice. Sushi rice is different from the ordinary long grain rice you find in your supermarket. To make sushi rice, you will need short grain rice. Cook the rice according to package directions on the stove or in a steamer. Only the short grain rice will give you the stickiness required when making sushi.
Step2
Season your rice after it is cooked. Heat up a few tablespoons of Japanese rice vinegar with a few tablespoons of sugar and 2 to 3 pinches of salt. When the sugar and salt are dissolved your vinegar is ready. Mix the vinegar in with your cooked rice.
Step3
Empty your cooked rice from the cooking container into a plastic or wooden bowl and spread it out. Your rice needs to cool for safe handling and extra stickiness.
Make the Sushi
Step1
Acquire Nori, or seaweed wrap, at your local Asian market or specialty gourmet store. You may also order it online. Lay your Nori or seaweed wrap on the bamboo sushi mat with the shinier side facing the mat.
Step2
Wet your hands lightly in water and press a thin layer of the rice onto the seaweed wrap evenly.
Step3
Place your ingredients in the middle of the wrap. You can use any combination of fish and vegetables that suits your taste. Be sure that your vegetables are cut thinly for easier eating. Fish should also be thinly sliced for a delicate flavor. Some thinly sliced ginger adds a great flavor to sushi.
Step4
Pull up your bamboo mat carefully and begin to roll your sushi. Keep the roll as tight as possible. When the roll is complete, use a bit of water on the edge of your Nori to help it stick to itself.
Step5
Slice the sushi roll into as many pieces as you like. Dip in soy sauce and enjoy!
