Sushi Rice
Fish and Fillings
Nori and Sauce
Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a rice cooker or a pot, combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- 3
Season the Rice
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the rice and gently fold it in using a wooden spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Prepare Fillings
- 4
Slice the Fish
Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh salmon and tuna into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Cream Cheese Preparation
If desired, soften the cream cheese slightly to make it easier to spread.
Assemble Sushi Rolls
- 7
Prepare the Nori
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a sheet of nori with the shiny side down.
- 8
Spread the Rice
Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge.
- 9
Add Fillings
Arrange slices of salmon, tuna, cucumber, avocado, and cream cheese horizontally across the rice. Be careful not to overfill.
- 10
Roll It Up
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
- 11
Slice the Rolls
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces, cleaning the knife with a damp cloth between cuts.
Serve
- 12
