Steps

1. 1

   Begin by placing the rice in a sieve with large holes and washing it under cold running water until the water runs clear. Remember to shake off any excess water after rinsing.

2. 2

   Start by placing rice and water in a large saucepan. Bring it to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat and cover the saucepan. Let it simmer for 40 minutes until the rice becomes tender and absorbs all the water. Take the saucepan off the heat and allow it to sit covered for an additional 10 minutes. Transfer the cooked rice to a bowl, sprinkle rice vinegar over it, then gently mix to incorporate. Let the seasoned rice cool down before using it further in your recipe.

3. 3

   Begin by peeling the carrot and slicing it into thin matchsticks. Split the unpeeled cucumber in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and then cut it into matchsticks. Slice the peppers into thin strips and cut the chives to match the length of the other vegetables. Ensure that all vegetables are uniform in both length and thickness. Lastly, halve each nori sheet horizontally.
