For best results, use high-quality sushi rice. Rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch.
Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, broccoli, or carrots.
To add a little heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of chili garlic sauce.
Garnish with chopped cilantro for fresh flavor
