Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 Nori sheets
• 0.5 cup Tobiko (flying fish roe)
• 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice. Use a wooden spoon to gently fold the rice until it's evenly coated and glossy. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface, and cover it with a piece of plastic wrap. Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the plastic wrap.

Step 6

With damp hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 7

Spread a thin strip of wasabi down the center of the rice layer.

Step 8

Spoon a line of tobiko over the wasabi.

Step 9

Lift the mat and carefully roll the sushi away from you, keeping the fillings in place. Roll firmly to ensure the roll holds together.

Step 10

Cut the sushi roll into 8 equal pieces using a sharp, damp knife. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.

Step 11

Serve the tobiko sushi with soy sauce and pickled ginger on the side.
