Vegetarian Sushi Rolls for 4 Rolls

Instructions:

1. Place rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. Combine rice and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it steam (lid on) for 10 minutes.
3. Whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
4. Transfer hot rice to a wide bowl. Using a folding motion, gently incorporate the vinegar mixture. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
5. Wrap your bamboo mat in plastic wrap for easy cleanup.
6. Place one sheet of nori, rough side up, on the mat.
7. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice across the nori.
