Homemade Sushi Rolls- Roll up your sleeves and embark on a fun culinary adventure with your siblings as you create your own sushi rolls with unique fillings and flavour combinations.

Ingredients:
2 cups sushi rice
2 cups water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Nori sheets
Assorted fillings (avocado, cucumber, smoked salmon, crab meat, etc.)
Soy sauce
Wasabi
Pickled ginger (optional)

Instructions:
Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain the rice and cook it on high degree for 7-10 minutes in Voltas Beko microwave. In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently mix the rice until it is evenly coated. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
Lay a sheet of nori shiny-side down on a sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel. Use wet hands to spread a thin layer of rice on top of the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Add your desired fillings in a horizontal line in the middle of the rice. Use the mat or towel to tightly roll the sushi away from you, using the border at the top to seal the roll.
Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.
Use a sharp knife to slice the sushi rolls into bite-sized pieces.
Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger if desired. Enjoy!
