Instructions
Make Sushi Seasoning
❶ In a medium saucepan, heat 4 tbsp rice vinegar, 4-5 tbsp sugar, and 2 tsp salt over medium-high heat.
❷ Cook until sugar and salt are completely dissolved, 2-3 minutes.
❸ Remove from heat, cool, and transfer to a glass jar.
Make Sushi Rice
❶ Cook short-grain rice following your rice cooker’s directions.
❷ While rice is still steaming hot, pour sushi seasoning over it and mix well. Using a fan, blow the steam off the rice for about one minute. This step allows excess moisture to escape and makes the surface of the rice shine.
Cook Seared Salmon
❶ Cut the salmon in half. Keep half in refrigerator.
❷ Put half of the salmon in a frying pan until the color changes, then place on a tray and let cool in the refrigerator.
Serve at table
❶ Cut all fillings into sizes that make it easy to hand roll. Cut nori sheet in about 4″ x 4″ square size.
❷ Place fillings on a large plate in a colorful arrangement and serve with roasted seaweed and soy sauce. Serve with sushi rice for hand-roll at the table.
❸ Everyone can make his/her own roll by hand by wrapping rice and fillings as he/she likes
