Take a moment to feast your eyes on this stunning party tray of sushi. Just look at that colorful display that can turn any gathering into a little slice of Japan! But don’t be fooled by its beauty; it’s also quite the delicious endeavor for your taste buds!
Now, let’s get to the fun part—the ingredients! Get your chopsticks ready because you’re going to need them after you whip this up.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 ½ cups water (for the rice)
- ½ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets of nori (seaweed)
- ½ lb. sashimi-grade fish (like tuna or salmon)
- ½ lb. shrimp, cooked and peeled
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Soy sauce, for dipping
- Pickled ginger and wasabi (optional, but who are we kidding—definitely not optional!)
Instructions:
- First things first, rinse your sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This is an important step! Trust me, you don’t want starchy sushi.
- Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker, and cook according to the rice cooker instructions. While that’s happening, let’s whip up some magic for the sushi flavor!
- In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until dissolved. Once your rice is cooked, fold this mixture into the warm rice and let it cool. Voilà, sushi rice!
- Now, it’s time to roll! Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat, and spread an even layer of sushi rice over it, leaving about an inch at the top.
- Place your fillings of choice—sashimi, shrimp, cucumber, and avocado—at the bottom of the rice-covered nori. Get creative here, no one’s judging!
- As you roll it tightly from the bottom, use a little water on the top edge of the nori to seal the roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Slice those beauties into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a platter with some soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi neatly placed beside them.
- Now all that’s left is to gather your friends, show off your sushi-making skills, and dig in!
