Directions

• Step 1
  Rinse the rice several times until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and transfer the rice to a medium saucepan.
• Step 2
  Add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
• Step 3
  In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, stirring until the sugar and salt have dissolved.
• Step 4
  When the rice is done, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the hot rice and mix gently with a wooden spoon. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
• Step 5
  Toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the mirin and cook for 1 minute more.
• Step 6
  To assemble the sushi, place a small handful of rice on a sheet of nori. Top with a slice of salmon and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Roll the nori tightly around the rice and salmon and cut into slices.
