Step by Step guide

Step 1

Take 250 grams of rice and pour it into a large bowl. Rinse the rice thoroughly. Drain and refill with water until the water is no longer white and becomes clear. After that, drain the rinsed rice in a colander and let it sit for 1 hour. After the specified time, transfer the rice to a large pot, add 500 ml of water, cover with a lid, and place on the heat. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and cook the rice for 5 minutes without stirring. Then reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cook the rice until all the water is absorbed. After that, remove the pot from the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for another 15 minutes.

Step 2

Take 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar and pour it into a small container. Dissolve 2.5 tablespoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of salt in the vinegar. Remove the rice from the pot and transfer it to a bowl. Then, gradually add the prepared dressing to the rice, mixing gently and breaking up any clumps. Let the rice cool.

Step 3

Place a sushi mat on the table. Lay a sheet of nori on the mat, then add the rice on top of the nori, followed by the currant jam. Roll it up, cut it in half, turn the sushi horizontally, and cut it in half again. Transfer the sushi to a plate, add wasabi and pickled ginger, and pour soy sauce.
