- 50 ml rice or cider vinegar

3. Directions:
- Wash the rice gently until the water is completely clear (about 6 to 8 washes).
- Place the rice in a medium saucepan with 3 cups of water, and let stand for about 30 minutes, until the rice turns white.
- Cook the rice for 15 minutes, on medium heat with the lid on, without ever taking it off (use a glass lid to go see when it boils).
- After cooking for 15 minutes, turn off the heat, and wait another 15 minutes with the lid on.
- After this time, place the rice on a serving platter to cool.
- It is normal for some rice to be stuck on the bottom of the pan, do not scrape and use.
- For the rice sauce, in small saucepan, add vinegar, sugar, and salt and heat without boiling, until sugar dissolves.
- Gradually pour this sauce in the rice, stirring and mixing it carefully.
- Finally, prepare the kitchen counter so all ingredients are on hand. These are: the rice, a bowl with water and ice, the seaweed, the cucumber, the carrot, the shrimp, a mat (in photo, an individual table cloth was used) and a plastic bag (transparent for freezing, or plastic wrap).
- Place the mat, with the bag on top, on the work surface. Place a Nori sheet with the rough side facing up on the bag.
- Wet your hands in cold water, and take a little rice. Spread it on the Nori sheet with your thumbs, leaving a free space at the end. Add a carrot strip, a cucumber strip, and the shrimp, about 4 or 5 per sheet (try to straighten the shrimp as much as possible).
- Curl using the mat as if it was a roll of dough, and press down firmly.
- Cut the roll in half with a sharp knife, and then in half again until it reaches the desired thickness, 8 equal parts in recommended.
- Wipe the knife clean after each cut.
- Serve cold, and garnish with Japanese sauce to taste.
