Ingredients needed

Fish, shellfish, or other toppings

Sushi rice

Roasted dried seaweed-(Thin layer)

Rice vinegar
Soy Sauce

Preparing

Since rice is important in making sushi, first thing you want to do is prepare the rice. Place about 3 cups of sushi rice in a rice cooker, and then rinse the rice repeatedly until the rice water is not cloudy. Then fill the rice pot with new water. Every brand of rice requires different amount of water due to the the richness of the grain. It is usually best to read the instructions on the rice bag stating how much water is needed to steam the rice for that specific brand.

After the rice is ready to be removed from the steamer, you want to add about 1/2 cup of rice vinegar onto the rice,  and let the rice soak in the vinegar for about 30 minutes. Once the rice is ready to be served, you can start making sushi rolls or regular sushi.
 

Tutorial on how to make a California roll

1.) You want to grab a handful of rice that is somewhat the size of your palm.

2.) You want to lay a seaweed on the on the table or on top of the bamboo pad.

3.) Spread the rice across the top of the seaweed first.

4.) Slowly drag the rice down from the top that you have just laid across, and spread it evenly throughout the seaweed

5.) Flip the seaweed over to the other side, so the rice is facing the table.

6.) Divide the crab meat in half, so you can put one on each side

7.) Add cucumber and avocado on top of that

8.) When you are ready to roll it up, you want to make sure to tug the side that you are cruel up underneath the stuff, so it is securely wrapped.

9.) Once the top is tug underneath the stuff, you may roll the roll up all the way.
10.) After you have confirm the roll is securely wrapped, use the bamboo pad to even it out, so it is round.

11.) Depending on how many slices you want, you have the cut the roll in half first so your final result would look evenly cut. After you cut the roll in half, if you want 6 slices, then you just have to make 3 more slices. If you want 8, you would want to cut the roll in half again, then another half, so you would have 4 pieces on each half, which will give you 8 pieces in total.
 

Making sushi 
1.) Cut out the raw or cooked fish you want on top of your rice. 
2) Grab a little bit of rice, and make an rectangle 
3.) When making a rectangle, you want to press it a few times making sure it’s secure.
4.) After you have tighten the rice a little, so it wouldn't break apart, make the top of the rice oval. The oval will make the rice look like a bridge, which when you lay the toppings on, it would look good.
5.) After the base is complete, you can lay the topping on, and securely press it again, making sure it will stay on.
6.) On some of the topping, you might have to use a thin slice of seaweed and wrap it around to secure it from falling over. It’s like wearing a belt.

Sashimi 
1.) Select the raw or cooked fish that you wanted.
2.) Cut out 3 slices, but make sure it’s at lease the size of 1/4 inches thick for each slice.
3.)You may want to cut the fish at an angle so it looks better.

Sometimes when something looks good, it will automatically change a person mood or judgement on how wonderful the stuff taste.
