Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    In a large bowl, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Transfer the rinsed rice to a rice cooker or pot, add 2.5 cups of water, and cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the rice and gently fold it in with a wooden spoon. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Prepare Fillings

  1. 4

    Prepare the Salmon

    Cut the fresh salmon into thin strips. Ensure it is sushi-grade for safety.

  2. 5

    Slice the Vegetables

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin strips. Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin julienne strips.

  3. 6

    Prepare Cream Cheese

    Soften the cream cheese slightly at room temperature for easier spreading.

Assemble the Sushi

  1. 7

    Prepare Nori Sheets

    Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking.

  2. 8

    Spread the Rice

    Take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

  3. 9

    Add Fillings

    Place strips of salmon, avocado, cucumber, and a thin layer of cream cheese across the middle of the rice.

  4. 10

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a bit of water.

  5. 11

    Slice the Sushi

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep it clean.

Prepare the Sauce

  1. 12

    Mix the Dipping Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine soy sauce and wasabi together. Adjust wasabi to taste.
