Tips:

For the best results, use sushi rice. Sushi rice is a short-grain rice that is sticky and holds its shape well.

To make your own sushi rice vinegar, combine 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute.

To make sushi rolls more manageable, use a bamboo mat. The bamboo mat helps to keep the rolls tight and uniform.

If you don't have a bamboo mat, you can use a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper.

To make your own wasabi paste, combine 1 tablespoon wasabi powder with 1 tablespoon water. Stir until smooth.

Soy sauce is a traditional condiment served with sushi.
