خطوة بخطوة

1. 1

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold running water until the water runs clear, about 5 minutes.

   حوالي 5 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: This step is crucial for achieving properly textured sushi rice.

2. 2

   Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

   حوالي 15 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Do not lift the lid during cooking to ensure the rice steams properly.

3. 3

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.

   حوالي 10 د

4. 4

   While the rice rests, prepare the sushi vinegar by combining the rice vinegar, granulated sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.

   حوالي 3 د

5. 5

   Transfer the cooked rice to a large, shallow non-metallic bowl or a hangiri (wooden sushi rice tub).

   حوالي 1 د

6. 6

   Pour the prepared sushi vinegar evenly over the rice. Using a rice paddle or wooden spoon, gently fold and cut through the rice to incorporate the vinegar, being careful not to mash the grains.

   حوالي 3 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Fan the rice with a piece of cardboard or fan while mixing to help it cool and achieve a glossy texture.

7. 7

   Continue to mix and fan the rice until it has cooled to room temperature, about 10 minutes.

   حوالي 10 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Cover the rice with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out if not using immediately.

8. 8

   Arrange all your prepared fillings (sliced fish, cucumber, avocado, scallions) and the seasoned sushi rice on a large platter or individual plates.

   حوالي 5 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Keep raw fish chilled until ready to serve.

9. 9

   Cut the nori sheets in half or into quarters, depending on desired roll size.

   حوالي 2 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: A crisp nori sheet makes for a better hand roll.

10. 10

    To make a hand roll, take a piece of nori and place a small amount of rice on one corner. Add your desired fillings on top of the rice.

    ملاحظة الطاهي: Do not overfill the nori, as it will be difficult to roll.

11. 11

    Roll the nori into a cone shape, starting from the corner with the rice and rolling towards the opposite corner.

    ملاحظة الطاهي: A little water on the edge of the nori can help seal the roll.

12. 12

    Serve immediately with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
