Steps

  1. Wrap a sushi rolling mat completely in plastic wrap and set aside.

  2. Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

  4. Roll the California roll into a tight log. Remove the rolling mat.

  5. Cut roll into 6 even pieces using a wet knife and serve garnished with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi paste.
