Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 ¼ cups water
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 oz yellowtail fish, sliced thin
- 2 scallions, sliced thin
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- Soy sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool.
- Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread about ¼ cup of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- Lay two slices of yellowtail and some sliced scallions horizontally across the rice.
- Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, applying gentle pressure. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce for dipping.

Notes
- You can substitute yellowtail with other fish like salmon or tuna if desired.
- Make sure to use sushi-grade fish for safety and quality.
