Sushi Rice

Filling

Wrap and Garnish

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the sushi 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 saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Prepare Filling

  1. 4

    Slice the Salmon

    Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon into thin strips or small cubes, depending on your preference.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin slices.

  3. 6

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Wash the cucumber, cut off the ends, and slice it into thin strips.

Assemble the Rolls

  1. 7

    Lay Out Nori

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

  2. 8

    Spread the Rice

    Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take a handful of sushi rice and evenly spread it over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

  3. 9

    Add Filling

    Lay slices of salmon, avocado, and cucumber across the center of the rice.

  4. 10

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully lift the edge of the mat and roll the nori away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Continue rolling until you reach the exposed edge of the nori. Use a little water to seal the edge.

  5. 11

    Slice the Roll

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

  6. 12

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rolls and serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
