Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Wash the rice thoroughly. Then place the rice in a cooking container and fill it with water. There should be one and a half times more water than rice. First, measure the amount of rice with a mug, and then fill it with 1.5 times the amount of water. For flavor, add garlic cloves cut in half. You can add kombu seaweed, but if you don’t have it in stock, that’s okay. Bring the rice to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

Step 2
While the rice is cooking, cut the filling: cucumber into strips, fish into thin slices.

Step 3

Step 3
The rice is cooked. Remove the garlic and kombu seaweed from it. We wait until it cools to room temperature. Add vinegar dressing to it. Add 1-2 tablespoons of dressing to a plate of rice to taste. You can buy it ready-made in the store, or you can make it yourself. To do this, mix 50 ml of rice vinegar, 1 tbsp. sugar and 0.25 tsp. salt. To make the salt and sugar dissolve faster, heat the resulting mixture in the microwave or on the stove.
