Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 4 nori seaweed sheets
  • 8 oz fresh sashimi-grade fish (such as tuna and salmon)
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 carrot
  • Soy sauce
  • Wasabi
  • Pickled ginger

Directions

  1. Start by preparing the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Allow it to cool to room temperature before using.
  2. Lay a sheet of nori seaweed on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
  3. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
  4. Arrange your choice of fillings (fish, avocado, cucumber, carrot) in a line across the center of the rice.
  5. Using the sushi mat, roll the nori and rice over the fillings tightly to form a cylinder.
  6. Slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water to prevent sticking.
  7. Serve the Valentine's Sushi with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side. Enjoy!
