Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Rice
Rinse Hilly Basket's white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Cook the rice with water (2:1 ratio) in a rice cooker or on the stove. Let it sit covered for 10 minutes after cooking.
Step 2: Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
Gently fold the mixture into the cooked Hilly Basket's white rice and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Step 3: Prepare Fillings
Slice cucumber, avocado, fish, or other preferred fillings into thin strips.
Step 4: Assemble the Sushi
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat.
Evenly spread a layer of the seasoned Hilly Basket's white rice on the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
Add your chosen fillings in a straight line across the bottom section of the rice.
Step 5: Roll the Sushi
Use the bamboo mat to roll the sushi tightly, sealing the roll with a bit of water on the border of the nori.
Step 5: Cut and Serve
Slice the roll into pieces with a sharp knife.
Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
