Instructions:

• Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

• In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Stir this mixture into the cooked rice and let it cool.

• Using the mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently to keep it together.
• Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
