Make the sushi rice: Using a rice cooker to cook the rice, add the water and rinsed the sushi rice into the "white rice" setting. When it's done, add it to a large mixing bowl, add the ½ cup rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt, and fold in the ingredients until it's fully mixed.
To Make the Sushi Maki Rolls: Before starting, wrap your sushi mat in plastic food wrap or a large ziplock bag to prevent sticking. On a cutting board, lay out the prepped sushi mat, on top of that lay out 1 sheet of nori, and spread a thin layer of the prepared sushi rice on the nori, leaving a small margin from the edge. Add any combination of desired ingredients in a line, take the bottom (closest to yourself) edge, and roll the sushi maki roll up (away from yourself), keep the roll tight and compact. Use water along the ending edge to "seal" the roll together. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into rolls, you can put some water on the knife, to get a clean cut, each time, removing any excess roll ingredients, in between cuts, with a damp kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining nori seaweed wrappers, you can experiment with different ingredient combinations each time if you want. When the rolls are done you can garnish them with sesame seeds or furikake before serving. Serve with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi paste.
