Royal Sushi Roll - Clover Leaf

Ingredients

• Prepare rice according to package instructions. After rice is cooked, dissolve sugar in vinegar and stir into hot rice. Spread rice on cookie sheet and allow to cool completely.
• To assemble sushi:
• Place a piece of nori, shiny side down, on bamboo sushi mat.
• Spread 1/4 of the rice evenly over nori, leaving a 1-inch margin at top edge to seal the roll.
• Place pieces of sardines and selected vegetables across the center of the rice parallel to the top edge.
• Starting from the long end, roll up mat to enclose filling. Press mat gently around roll to shape it, then moisten margin of nori with water and seal roll snugly. Remove mat; press in loose ends.
• Place seam side down on cutting board.
• Repeat with remaining nori and filling.
• Slice into 1-inch thick rounds with sharp, wet knife.
• Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi (Japanese horseradish) paste.
