Choosing the Right Seafood
The seafood is the most vital and crucial component of sushi, whether made at home or at a restaurant. For both flavor and food safety, only the freshest, sushi-grade fish should be purchased and used. Sushi-grade fish is purchased from a Japanese supermarket and a local fish market that supplies to sushi eateries across the city.

To make sushi at home, you’ll only need a few simple items. You can get everything you need in a sushi kit (affiliate link) or buy specific items like a bamboo rolling mat and a sharp knife to cut your fish and rolls. A wooden spoon for the rice and chopsticks for serving are also recommended.

Sushi Rice: A Step-by-Step Guide
The rice is the most vital component of a sushi roll! Make sure you get sushi rice, which is a sticky, short grain rice. Here’s how to produce sushi rice that holds its shape and doesn’t break apart in your rolls.

Rinse the rice for a few minutes under cold water in a fine mesh strainer, then shake off excess water.
Place the rice and the necessary amount of water in a large sauce pot. Cook the rice, covered, over low/medium heat until it reaches a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook until the water has evaporated and the rice is done.

Prepare the rice seasonings next. Combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small pot. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Toss the rice with a wooden spoon after pouring this mixture over it. Before usage, cover the rice and set aside for at least 30 minutes. Allow the rice to cool until it is just warm to the touch.

Sushi Rice Instructions:

Place the rice and the necessary amount of water in a large sauce pot. Cook the rice, covered, over low/medium heat until it reaches a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook until the water has evaporated and the rice is done.

To make Sushi Rolls, combine the following ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Prepare the salmon by slicing it into thin strips or chunks that will fit inside the sushi rolls comfortably. Make the rest of the ingredients.

Cover each nori seaweed sheet with a thin coating of rice. To avoid the rice from sticking to your hands, moisten them with a water and oil combination. Roll the salmon, avocado, and cucumber fillings on top of the rice. Tobiko and spicy mayo go on top of the roll.

Serve the salmon sushi roll right away, with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
