Making sushi at home is one of those moments when you think: why didn't I do this sooner? It's convivial, flavorful and exactly the kind of cooking adventure you want to share with friends or family.

Rinse the sushi rice 3 to 4 times under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain.
Put the rice in a saucepan with 360 ml water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and let steam for another 10 minutes with the lid on.
Mix the rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Transfer the warm rice to a large bowl and sprinkle the vinegar mixture over it. Gently fold it in with a spatula. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
Slice the salmon and tuna into thin slices or strips about 1 by 5 cm. Cut the cucumber into thin strips. Arrange everything on a cutting board.
Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the bamboo mat. Lightly wet your hands. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 2 cm border at the top.
Lay a row of salmon strips and cucumber strips on the bottom third of the rice. Roll the mat tightly from the bottom, pressing lightly and continue rolling until the roll is closed. Seal the edge of the nori with a drop of water.
Cut the maki roll with a sharp, slightly damp knife into pieces about 2 cm thick. Wipe the knife clean after each cut for a neat slice.
Make the nigiri: with wet hands shape a small oval ball of rice of about 20 grams. Place a slice of tuna on top and press lightly. Repeat for all the nigiri.
Spoon the ginger and wasabi into small bowls and have the soy sauce ready. Serve the maki and nigiri on a nice bowl or sushi platter and enjoy immediately.

Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

A nice bowl isn't just handy for wasabi or ginger when serving sushi — it's also perfect for presenting small dishes stylishly at the table. Choose sturdy porcelain that looks good and will last for years. Quality isn't only tasted in the food; it's also visible at the table.

Rolling sushi yourself is one of those things you should do at least once. Give everyone at the table their own bamboo mat and make it a real sushi night. Play with fillings like avocado, crab or roasted sweet potato for your own spin on this Japanese classic.
