Treat your ingredients with care...

• Sushi rice — Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch and achieve a sticky texture.
• Nori seaweed sheets — Toast the sheets lightly over a flame for a few seconds to enhance their flavor.
• Chimichurri sauce — Use homemade or high-quality store-bought chimichurri sauce for the best flavor.
• Grilled beef — Marinate the beef in chimichurri sauce before grilling to infuse it with Argentinian flavors.
• Avocado — Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to ensure a creamy texture.
