- 1 carrot
- 1 cucumber
- 1 spring onion
- 1 nori sheet
- 1 sriracha sauce
- 1 sesame seeds

## Instructions

1. Wash 500 grams of sushi rice to remove starch.

3. Prepare the rice vinegar by mixing 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 4 tablespoons of rice vinegar.
4. Once the rice is done, put it in a bowl and stir in the vinegar until it is well incorporated.
5. Prepare the ingredients: cut salmon, mackerel, carrots, cucumber, and spring onion into strips.
6. Place a nori sheet on a bamboo mat, leaving a 1-inch gap at the top. Spread the rice evenly on the nori sheet, leaving the top inch empty.
7. Place the prepared ingredients in the center of the rice.
8. Add sriracha sauce over the ingredients.
9. Roll the sushi using the bamboo mat.
10. To make a California roll, place a sheet of nori on a plastic-covered bamboo mat and spread rice over it. Flip it over so the rice is on the bottom.
