How to make a sushi

Cook the 1 cup of rice according to the package directions as it will good for 2-3 people.
In a small saucepan, mix a tablespoon of vinegar, 1/4 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt.
Heat the mixture briefly until the sugar is dissolves.
Peel and cut the cucumber and avocado into long, thin strips about 1/4 inch in diameter..
When the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and slowly add the vinegar mixture.
The rice should be slightly moist and sticky, but not wet or soft.
Once the rice and vinegar have cooled down, you are ready to go.
Place the bamboo mat horizontally in front of you (the bamboo sticks should go left and right).
Take a sheet of nori and place it on the rolled mat.
Place a layer of rice on the nori, covering about 3/4 of it.

The portion of nori not covered with rice will keep the roll closed (think of a strip of glue on the envelope).

Place a strip of avocado and a strip of cucumber on top of the rice and drizzle with the crab meat.
Now wet your fingers with cold water and soak the open part of the nori.
Gently roll the sushi onto the rug, starting from the rice side and rolling (don't roll the rug into it, silly).

If that sounds complicated, don't worry. It's as simple as rolling your sleeping bag or beach towel

Take the resulting roll and cut it into bite-sized pieces, usually 6 per roll.
If you cannot cut the reel without damaging it, try submerging the knife in the water between the cuts.
Distribute the pieces evenly and they will look like small multi-colored discs.
Serve with wasabi and soy sauce.

Since it is a very simple and lightly flavored product, the many ingredients added to it really determine the taste of a delicious sushi.
