Ingredients:

For Sushi Rice:

• 2 cups sushi rice
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1/3 cup rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt

For Democracy Roll:

• Nori (seaweed sheets)
• Sushi rice
• Avocado, sliced
• Cucumber, julienned
• Carrot, julienned
• Red bell pepper, julienned
• Smoked salmon or tofu, thinly sliced
• Cream cheese (optional)
• Sriracha sauce (optional)
• Soy sauce, for serving
• Pickled ginger, for serving
• Wasabi, for serving

Instructions:

1- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

2- In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and let cool.

3- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Gently fold in the vinegar mixture, being careful not to mash the rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

4- Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side facing down. Moisten your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking, then spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about a 1-inch border at the top.

5- Arrange your desired fillings (avocado, cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, smoked salmon or tofu, cream cheese, sriracha, etc.) in a line across the center of the rice.

6- Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly, starting from the bottom edge and rolling away from you. Press firmly to seal the roll.

7- Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into individual pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

8- Serve the Democratic Sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side. Enjoy your celebration of democracy in every bite!
