Sushi Rice

Sushi Fillings

Nori and Toppings

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 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

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

Prepare Sushi Fillings

  1. 4

    Slice the Fillings

    Thinly slice the fresh salmon and tuna into strips. Cut the cucumber and avocado into thin sticks. Set all the fillings aside.

  2. 5

    Prepare Cream Cheese

    Soften the cream cheese if necessary, and cut it into thin strips for easy rolling.

Assemble Sushi Rolls

  1. 6

    Lay Out Nori

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

  2. 7

    Add Sushi Rice

    With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge bare.

  3. 8

    Add Fillings

    Arrange strips of salmon, tuna, cucumber, avocado, and cream cheese horizontally across the center of the rice.

  4. 9

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying light pressure to keep the roll tight. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

  5. 10

    Slice the Rolls

    Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.

Serve

  1. 11

    Plate the Sushi

    Arrange the sliced sushi on a platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
