Preparation

Low

Rinse the rice to remove excess starch. Add the rice and water with a pinch of salt to a pot or rice cooker, heat on high, and when it starts to boil, lower the heat to the minimum and cover until ready, about 15 minutes. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a cup with ¼ water until all ingredients are perfectly dissolved, then add to the hot rice and mix carefully to avoid mashing it. Place a piece of nori seaweed on the sushi mat and arrange a layer of rice that is not too thick, leaving a 1 cm margin so the rice doesn't spill out the sides. Cut the ingredients that will fill the sushi roll into sticks and arrange them along the rice. Carefully roll it up so the ingredients don't fall out and squeeze the sushi roll to make it compact. Cut the roll in half and cut each piece into 4 portions, for a total of 8 surimi sushi rolls. For the sauce: mix soy sauce, finely chopped green chili, lime juice, and chopped cilantro and serve with the surimi sushi.
