Maki Rolls with Cucumber

1.Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions.

2.In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour the mixture over the cooked rice and gently fold to combine. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

3.Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and put a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

4.Wet your hands to prevent sticking and evenly spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch of space at the top.

5.Place cucumber slices along the bottom edge of the rice.

6.Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori tightly into a cylinder, applying gentle pressure to seal the roll.

7.Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make 4 rolls.

8.With a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.

9.Serve the maki rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
