Blue Sushi Grill & Lounge Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in 2 ½ cups of water for about 30 minutes. Drain the rice and cook it in a rice cooker or on the stovetop according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool and mix in a splash of rice vinegar.

2. 2

   Prepare the Filling

   While the rice is cooling, thinly slice the cucumber and avocado. Cut the salmon fillet into thin strips.

3. 3

   Assemble the Sushi

   Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly on the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge. Arrange the cucumber, avocado, and salmon strips in a line across the center of the rice.

4. 4

   Roll the Sushi

   Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the sushi into bite-sized pieces.

5. 5

   Serve

   Arrange the sushi pieces on a plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
