Instructions

  1. Prepare Sushi Rice: Cook sushi rice according to package instructions. While the rice is still warm, gently mix in a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to season it. Let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Cut Nori Strips: Cut nori sheets into strips slightly wider than the rice mounds you'll be forming, about 1 ½ inches (follow the lines).
  3. Shape Rice Mounds: Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take a small handful of seasoned sushi rice. Gently press and shape the rice into oval mounds using your hands. Ensure they hold their shape but aren't overly compressed.
  4. Wrap with Nori: Wrap a nori strip around the rice mound, leaving a portion sticking out to form the "boat" shape. Press the nori gently against the rice to make it adhere. (Pro tip: Place a few grains of rice near the edge of the nori to assist with adherence and closure.)
  5. Add Toppings: Carefully arrange your chosen toppings on top of the rice in the nori "boat." Get creative with your combinations.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the gunkan sushi on a plate and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
