Directions

Description - Step 1

Cook the Brown Rice

Rinse brown rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. Add it to a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low heat for about 25–30 minutes until tender. Turn off the flame and let it rest for 10 minutes to release steam. Fluff gently with a fork.

Description - Step 4

Assemble the Sushi Rolls

Place the bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and set a nori sheet on top, shiny side down. Wet your fingertips to prevent sticking and spread a thin, even layer of rice across the nori, leaving a 1-inch strip bare at the top. Sprinkle sesame seeds and layer the fillings horizontally. Using the mat, roll tightly from the bottom, applying gentle pressure to shape it evenly. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
