Instructions
- Take a bamboo rolling mat and place a nori sheet lengthwise on it.
- Make sure that the shiny side is facing down.
- Also, the sheet should leave out 1-inch of the bamboo sheet exposed from the edge close to you and some part of the mat should be exposed on the other end as well.
- Wet your hand with some cool water and place a handful of sushi rice in the center of the nori sheet.
- With the help of your hands, spread the rice evenly over the nori.
- 3/4th inch strip of the sheet however should remain untouched by the rice.
- Place the tuna strips, cucumber, avocado and carrots along the center of the rice.
- Do not stuff the nori with too much quantity.
- With a gentle press from your fingertips on the fillings, they will be held in place.
- Using your thumbs, lift the bamboo mat edge close to you.
- Start rolling the mat gently and slowly, pressing the fillings as you go.
- Keep rolling till it covers the rice and both ends come together keeping the untouched 3/4-inch nori exposed.
- Holding the bamboo mat, apply pressure on the fillings to keep the roll firm.
- Then slice the roll in half.
- Cut both rolls in two pieces so that you now have 6 rolls.
- Repeat with salmon and other fillings.
- To make the sushi rice, rinse the rice in cold water and remove dirt if any.
- Drain the rice.
- Take a saucepan and add the rice with 6 cups of water and put a tight fitting lid on it.
- Bring the water to boil on medium heat.
- Let the water boil for about three minutes and then cook the rice for 15 minutes on reduced heat.
- Once the water dries out, remove the rice from heat and spread it evenly on a greased cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle salt, sugar, vinegar on the rice and keep mixing till the rice cools down to body temperature.
- Cover the rice with damp paper towels till ready to be used.
