Sushi Maki - Homemade Rolls

Homemade maki rolls with nori, rice and your favourite filling. Easier than you think - all you need is a bamboo mat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar + 1 tablespoon sugar + 1 teaspoon salt
  • Nori sheets
  • Salmon or tuna (fresh) / cucumber / avocado
  • Wasabi, soy sauce and pickled ginger to serve

Method

  1. Cook the rice, mix it with the vinegar seasoning and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Place the nori on the mat, shiny side down.
  3. Spread a thin layer of rice, leaving about 1 cm of free edge at the top.
  4. Arrange the filling in a horizontal line and roll up tightly using the mat.
  5. Moisten the edge of the nori with water so it seals. Cut into 6-8 pieces with a sharp, wet knife.
💡 Paweł’s tip: Wet the knife with water before each cut - that way the rice doesn't stick and the rolls come out even.
