All The foundation of every sushi roll is the rice. Sushi rice is a special blend of short-grain Japanese rice, seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. This combination gives the rice its signature tangy taste that perfectly complements the fillings.

Sushi rolls are often wrapped in a thin sheet of seaweed, called nori. This provides a crunchy texture and a subtle ocean flavor that balances the rice and fillings.

Ready to create your own sushi platter? Let start!

Cook rice. If possible, choose sushi rice. If you are in a region outside of China, Japan, and South Korea, you can buy short-grain rice. It doesn’t matter what type of rice you use if you don’t have a preference. If you haven’t prepared the ingredients beforehand, you can do so while the rice is cooking.
