3 1/2 tbsp Rice Vinegar -or- White

Recipe Instructions:

Sushi, a representative food of Japan, is a vinegared rice garnished
with an assortment of fresh vegetables, fish and seasonings. You'll find
many of the ingredients ... and the bamboo mat ... at an Oriental food
store. RICE: Cook rice in water for about 25 minutes or until all
the liquid is absorbed. Spread rice evenly over bottom of a large glass or
wooden bowl. Mix vinegar, sugar and salt together in a small bowl.
Sprinkle vinegar mixture generously over the rice. You may not need all
the vinegar mixture. The rice should remain somewhat dry. With a
large wooden spoon, mix rice with a slicing motion. Leave the rice in
the bowl, covered with a damp cloth. ROLLS: 1 pk Nori Seaweed,
large or medium (Quality nori seaweed must be crisp. Look for a
well-sealed package.) 1 Bamboo Mat, medium or large, for rolling sushi
FILLINGS ... Chose from these combinations: 1 Cucumber, cut into
thin strips the same length as seaweed 1 Avocado, peeled, pitted and cut
into thin strips Fresh Cilantro, minced 2 oz Daikon Radish, cut into
strips 2 oz Pickled Ginger 4 oz Small Shrimp, cooked 4 oz Prosciutto
1 Cucumber, cut into thin strips 1 Avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into
thin strips 2 oz Pickled Ginger TO ASSEMBLE SUSHI ROLLS: Place
one sheet of nori seaweed on the bamboo mat. Spread approximately 3/4
cup rice onto seaweed; flatten with the back of a spoon. Leave uncovered
3/8 inch (1 cm) at front of sheet and 3/4 inch (2 cm at end of sheet.
Place all filling ingredients at center. To form roll, lift one end of
the mat and begin to roll and compress the seaweed. Use the mat only to
help form the roll. (It may be difficult at first to keep the mat from
rolling with the seaweed.) Moisten end of seaweed with a small amount
of water to seal the roll. Cut into rounds approximately 1/2 inch
thick. Yield: 10 servings; 5 rolls, 6 pieces/roll Cilantro
