Source:
| Sushi: | |
| 1/3 cup | seasoned rice vinegar |
| 2 teaspoon | sugar |
| 1 tablespoon | salt |
| 1 1/2 cups | short-grained sushi rice |
| 1 1/2 cups | water |
| 4 sheets | toasted nori |
| Fillings: 1 Kirby cucumber or 1/2 regular cucumber, seeded and cut into match sticks | |
| 1/2 | firm-ripe Hass avocado, peeled, thinly sliced lengthwise, sprinkled with lemon juice |
| 8 large | cooked shrimp, peeled and cut in 1/2, lengthwise |
| Soy sauce | |
Equipment:
Bamboo sushi meat
For the rice:
Mix together vinegar, sugar and salt
Directions:
Rinse the rise with cool water in a colander, drain. Put the rice and water in a medium saucepan with a fitting lid. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to very low, and simmer, tightly covered, (For a good seal, wrap the pan's lid tightly with a small kitchen towel and cover the saucepan. Make sure the towel's edges are folded up well away from the heat.) Cook until all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove the rice from the heat (don't uncover), and set aside for 10 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and transfer to a large bowl. Add vinegar mixture and toss with a wooden spoon. Spread the rice out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Fan the rice continuously with a fan or magazine until cooled. Cover rice with a damp towel.
To assemble rolls:
Place the sushi mat with the slats running crosswise directly in front of you on a clean work place. Lay a sheet of nori shiny-side down and lined up with the closest edge of the mat. Lightly moisten fingers with water and evenly press about about 1/4 of the rice onto the nori, with 1 1/2-inches uncovered at the far edge. Line up the fillings about an inch from the closest near the edge, evenly across the rice. Leave 1 inch of rice uncovered at the far edge.
Beginning with the near edge of the mat, tightly roll up the nori, rice and filling into a cylinder. Firmly tug on the rounded mat over the roll as you pull on the far of the mat to tighten the roll. Open the mat, dab unsealed edge of nori with a bit of water and roll the sushi forward to seal. Transfer the sushi to a plate and cover with damp paper towels. Repeat with remaining rice and fillings.
Cut each sushi roll, crosswise into 8 pieces with a sharp wet knife.
Serve with a bowl of soy sauce for dipping.
