First, mix vinegar, sugar, and salt into warm rice to make sushi rice. Wait a little until the rice cools down.

Next, cut your favorite fish such as tuna or salmon, cucumbers, and eggs into bite-sized pieces.

Finally, wet your hands with water, shape the rice into small mounds, and place the fish on top. Dip in soy sauce and enjoy.
