Instructions:

For the sushi & maki variations, first prepare the rice.

For the sushi rice, rinse the rice and drain for 1 hour, then add the same mass of water to the rice and bring to a boil over high heat. Then cover and turn the temperature down to medium.

When the rice surface becomes visible in the cooking pot, turn down to the lowest heat. When the water has evaporated, again heat strongly for 1 minute, then pull the rice off the stove and let it steam out for 15 minutes with the lid closed.

Mix rice vinegar, sugar and salt for the marinade and mix with the still warm long grain rice in a baking bowl. Let cool slightly, but do not refrigerate or the rice will harden.

For classic salmon nigiri, form small balls from the sushi rice in your wet hand and press flat. Spread with wasabi. Place a slice of salmon of the right size on top. Note: Never make sushi too large to enjoy in one bite.

For the tuna maki, place the yaki nori sheet on the bamboo mat. Top with a thin layer of long grain rice. Spread with a tiny bit of wasabi. Place a row of narrow tuna strips on top. Roll up with the bamboo mat and slice the roll to make the small maki.

For the California Roll, cover the bamboo mat with plastic wrap. Place a thin layer of rice on top. Spread with wasabi. In the center, place 1 sprinkle
