Instructions
Prepare the Sushi Rice
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low, cooking for 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
- In a saucepan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in honey and soy sauce, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
- Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and add it to the sauce. Stir until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cook and Coat the Protein
- Shrimp: Sauté cooked shrimp in a pan for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Toss with honey garlic sauce.
- Chicken: Grill or pan-cook the chicken breast, slice into thin strips, and coat with the sauce.
- Salmon: Bake or pan-sear salmon until cooked through, flake it apart, and mix with the sauce.
Assemble the Sushi Rolls
- Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of seasoned sushi rice over the nori, leaving an inch uncovered at the top.
- Arrange your honey garlic-coated protein, cucumber, carrot, and avocado along the bottom edge.
- Gently lift the bamboo mat and begin rolling the sushi tightly. Apply slight pressure to keep the roll firm. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
Slice and Serve
- Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired. Serve with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi.
