Instructions

1. Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear.

5. Place a sheet of sushi nori on a sushi mat or a piece of plastic wrap with the shiny-side down.
6. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
7. Place a slice of raw ham on top of the rice, followed by a spoonful of fresh goat cheese.
8. Roll the sushi tightly, pressing down gently as you roll to ensure it holds its shape.
9. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, making 6 Makis in total.
10. Using a sharp knife, cut each Maki into 6-8 pieces. Serve immediately.
