Delicious Japanese Cuisine

First of all, we put 1 cup of rice into a saucepan. Then, we add 1.5 cups of cold water. It is important to use cold water, for if we don’t add enough water to the rice, it will be dry. After that, we have to cook the rice for 10 minutes after the water boils. While cooking the rice, we have to prepare a vinegar solution. For the solution, we mix four tablespoons of rice vinegar, a quarter of a cup of white sugar, and one tablespoon (tbsp) of salt in a bowl. Then, we stir the ingredients and wait for the salt and sugar to dissolve completely. We put the cooked rice in another bowl and wait for it to cool a bit. Next, we add the solution to the rice and mix them. Next, we need to prepare the fillings. Firstly, we pour some salt and rice vinegar on each side of the salmon. Then we chop the salmon into long strips, and we cut and put the cucumber and carrot into thin strips. Now, we are ready to roll. We lay one piece of nori on the bamboo mat and add another layer consisting of rice on the nori. Lay out slices of salmon and vegetables across the center of the rice. After that, roll the bamboo mat. Squeeze the sides of the bamboo mat to shape the sushi roll, and then unroll the bamboo mat and remove the sushi. Then, we slice the sushi into equally sized pieces. To serve, we can use soy sauce and wasabi.
