All you need is:
- Sushi mat and paddle (trust me it will make your life so much easier)
- Nori sheets
- Sushi Rice (yes it needs to be sushi rice)
- Rice Wine Vinegar
- Whatever you want in your sushi roll. I love veggie maki with avocado, celery and carrots.
Go to the international section of your grocery store. (Stop and Shop or Shaws is just fine) They should have Nori Sheets, Sushi Rice, Rice Wine Vinegar, Wasabi, Ginger and Soy Sauce all in the same area.
You can get crab and salmon at the seafood counter, generally right next to the prepared sushi.
Cook 1 cup the sushi rice by following the package directions. Let it cool for about 10 minutes and then add a tablespoon rice wine vinegar.
Take out one Nori Sheet and spread the rice on most of it, leaving about an inch and a half at the top
Then add whatever you are putting in...
It should have the ration like above...
Then roll it up...
Make sure your first roll has fillings tucked in. Then roll more and press evenly.
Then with a sharp knife with a gentle sawing like motion.. it should be too hard!
Then enjoy with your favorite wasabi, ginger and/or soy sauce.
YUM!
