Slice all the vegetables you prefer for your sushi rolls and marinate them with maple syrup, soy sauce, roasted sesame oil, and lemon juice. Roast your chosen vegetables in a pan or grill them in the oven at 180°C (356°F) for 20 minutes.

If you are preparing sushi for a buffet, friends, or family, it's best to get organized. Coat a sheet of nori with rice and neatly lay out the sliced vegetables lengthwise at one end.

Modo de Preparo

First, prepare the sushi rice.

Place the uncooked rice in a pot or rice cooker and rinse with water, draining quickly. Repeat this process three to four times until the water runs clear.

Add 540 ml of water to the rice and, if available, add a piece of kombu (dried kelp) and let the rice soak for 20-30 minutes.

Cook the rice in a rice cooker or on the stovetop covered with a lid. For stovetop cooking, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook for 13-15 minutes.

Once cooked, let the rice sit for 10-15 minutes to cool and firm up. Transfer to a large, shallow bowl, spread evenly, and drizzle the sushi vinegar over the hot rice.

Use a fan to help cool the rice while slicing through it at a 45-degree angle to separate clumps, gently flipping between slices until the rice reaches room temperature.

Avoid stirring in circular motions or pressing down, as this will make the rice mushy. Cover with a damp towel and set aside.

Now, prepare the fillings.

Marinate the bell peppers, celery sticks, and carrot sticks with soy sauce, roasted sesame oil, and cumin.

Sauté the marinated vegetables in a saucepan for 3-4 minutes, or alternatively, roast them in the oven at 180°C (356°F) for 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Now, form the sushi rolls.

Prepare all remaining vegetables and fruits, arranging them on plates around your workspace for easy access.

Place a sheet of nori on top of a sushi mat with the rough side facing up.

Wet your hands with water and measure 1/2 cup (about 90g) of prepared sushi rice.

Place the rice at one edge of the nori and spread evenly with one hand, leaving a 1-inch space on the opposite end.

For added flavor, spread a thin layer of peanut butter over the rice or add wasabi powder for a spicy kick.

Arrange the vegetables and fruits neatly near the rice edge, then hold the filling in place while rolling the mat tightly over the ingredients. Press firmly before removing the mat.

Lightly dampen the edge of the nori to help seal the roll completely.

Wet your knife with a damp towel before each cut and use a push-then-pull motion for clean slices.

Arrange the cut sushi on a plate and serve with wasabi, soy sauce, and pickled ginger.
