Steps:
- Wash the rice with cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well. If you have a rice maker (way easier!), follow rice maker instructions and cook on the white rice setting then skip to step #4
- Put drained rice in a heavy sauce-pan and add 2 cups cold water. Cover tightly and set the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Once it boils, reduce heat to medium and let cook covered until all the water is absorbed (7-8 min). Do not remove the cover to check, but listen for the bubbling to stop.
- Once you hear a faint hissing sound, reduce the heat to very low and cook another 6 min. Remove from the heat and let stand 15 min covered. This is the basic white rice eaten with japanese meals.
- Transfer the hot rice to a large bowl and break it up to get rid of all the hot clumps.
- Let the rice cool down until it is just warm, then stir in your cooled sushi vinegar
- Wrap your sushi matt in plastic wrap before using it (this makes it re-useable and you don't even have to wash it!).
- Fold the pieces of nori in half to split them.
- Toast your sesame seeds over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden. Slice up your veggies.
- Spread a generous handful of sushi rice onto the 1/2 sheet of nori. Use your WET FINGER TIPS (keep your hands wet to prevent sticking) to spread the rice evenly over the entire surface of the nori.
- Flip the rice covered piece of nori over so the rice is facing down (this way, your rice will be on the outside). Place your fillings across the center of your rice in the middle of the sheet (don't overfill or the roll won't seal).
- Start rolling away from you using your matt to firmly keep the roll in place. Apply some pressure to make a tight roll. If its not tight enough, it will be difficult to cut. Once the roll is complete, sprinkle the roll with toasted sesame seeds while it is still on the mat so you can turn it easily.
- Run your sharp knife through a damp paper towel before slicing so the rice won't stick as much. Cut the roll in half, then line the two halves up and slice even 1-inch rings. I have found that it slices easier when you slice quickly.

Steps:
- Into a large saucepan of salted boiling water stir rice and boil 10 minutes. Drain rice in a colander and rinse. Set colander over a kettle of boiling water (rice should not touch water) and steam rice, covered with a kitchen towel and lid, until fluffy and dry, 10 to 15 minutes (check water level in kettle occasionally, adding water if necessary).
- While rice is steaming, in a small saucepan bring 1/4 cup vinegar to a boil with sugar and salt, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and remove from heat. In a dry small skillet toast sesame seeds over moderate heat, stirring, until golden and fragrant and transfer to a small bowl.
- Transfer rice to a large bowl and stir in vinegar mixture. Cool rice and stir in sesame seeds, remaining 3 tablespoons vinegar, oil, ginger, scallions, carrot, and cucumber. Salad may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring salad to room temperature before proceeding.
- Dry-roast nori, 1 sheet at a time, directly above moderate heat (gas or electric burner), holding it at opposite corners and moving it back and forth, until it turns bright green, 30 seconds to 1 minute. With scissors cut nori into thin 2-inch-long strips.
- Peel and pit avocado. Quarter avoado and cut crosswise into thin slices. Add avocado to salad with surmimi if using and two thirds of nori strips and toss well.
- Make dressing:
- In a small bowl stir wasabi powder into hot water and stir in cold water, soy sauce, and ginger juice.
- Serve salad sprinkled with remaining nori strips and drizzled with dressing.

Tips:
- Always use high-quality sushi rice: Look for Japanese short-grain rice specifically labeled for sushi. It has a higher starch content, which helps the rice grains stick together and creates a tender, slightly chewy texture.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly: This removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from becoming sticky or gummy.
- Cook the rice according to the package instructions: Use the correct amount of water and cook the rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
- Season the rice with rice vinegar: This is the traditional way to flavor sushi rice. Use a good quality rice vinegar and add it to the rice while it is still warm. Stir gently to combine.
- Let the rice cool completely before using it: This helps the rice grains hold their shape and prevents the salad from becoming soggy.
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor and quality of the salad.
- Experiment with different variations: There are many ways to customize this salad to your liking. Try adding different vegetables, proteins, or sauces.
