Base Ingredients

Vinegar Mixture

Toppings

Sauce

Method

Preparing the Rice

  1. 1

    Wash the Rice

    Place the rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Let the Rice Rest

    Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.

Making the Vinegar Mixture

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

Mixing the Rice

  1. 5

    Season the Rice

    Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and gently fold it in using a spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 6

    Slice the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the cucumber and avocado.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Salmon

    Cut the smoked salmon into strips.

Assembling the Kamiki

  1. 8

    Prepare Nori Sheets

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

  2. 9

    Add Rice

    Spread a thin layer of seasoned rice over the nori, leaving a small border on the top edge.

  3. 10

    Add Toppings

    Arrange cucumber slices, avocado slices, and strips of smoked salmon over the rice.

  4. 11

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll.

  5. 12

    Slice the Roll

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.

Serving

  1. 13

    Plate the Kamiki

    Arrange the sliced sushi rolls on a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  2. 14

    Serve with Sauce

    Serve with soy sauce and a small dollop of wasabi on the side.
