Sushi Rolls

Cook rice according to package instructions.

Mix vinegar, sugar and salt.

Cut vinegar mixture into cooked rice until well combined.

To roll sushi you can use a bamboo sushi mat, or just use a clean towel instead, or you can even forgo the roller and just carefully roll using your hands.

Place nori sheet on roller and spread a thin layer of the sushi rice over the nori.

Place your filling in a center line on the nori sheet.

Begin rolling by carefully folding over the top edge and starting the roll.

Continue to roll, keeping the roll as tight as possible.

Take a sharp knife and slice the roll into 1- 1 1/2 inch pieces.

Some Possible Sushi Filling Combos--.

Once you have your layer of rice on the nori sheet, try some of these ingredient combos.

Mix and match to suit your taste.

Things like thinly sliced cucumber or carrots and radish sprouts are good general ingredients to add to all kinds of rolls.
