Ingredients for this video:
3 cups highest-quality short-grain Japanese rice
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
3 1/4 cups cold water

1. Rinse rice in fine mesh strainer under cold water for a few minutes then shake off excess water. Place into large sauce pot along with water. Cook covered over low/medium heat, bring to a simmer, turn heat down to low and cook just until water is evaporated – about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat. In small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar and salt. Stir to dissolve (place into microwave for 30 seconds to help dissolve some of the sugar better). Pour over prepared rice, stir with wooden spoon, cover rice and let stand for at least 30 minutes before using. Let the rice cool enough so it's just warm to touch.

Other ingredients/tools needed, all based on preference:
wooden bamboo rolling mat
dried nori seaweed sheets

fillings:
sliced smoked salmon
sushi-grade raw salmon, tuna, albacore or scallops (cannot be previously frozen!)
cooked real crab, lobster or shrimp
fresh tobiko (fish eggs)
diced green onions
sliced cucumber
fresh asparagus
avocado

sauces:
cream cheese or sweet Japanese mayonnaise
eel sauce
wasabi sauce
spicy mayo – combine regular mayonnaise with sirachyia sauce
tamari/soy sauce

for tempura, deep-fried sushi: tempura batter, grape seed oil for deep frying

Some of my favorite combinations:
Tuna, Salmon, cream cheese, tobiko, avocado; topped with smoked salmon, eel sauce, sweet mayo, tobiko, green onions

Cooked lobster with cream cheese, raw bay scallops; topped with tuna, sweet mayo, eel sauce and a touch of sirachyia sauce

Tuna, sirachyia sauce or spicy mayo, asparagus, cream cheese; tempura deep-fried roll topped with spicy mayo, black tobiko, green onions, eel sauce
