Sushi Rice

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse and Cook Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and place in a saucepan with 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the cooked rice and gently fold it in with a wooden spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Assemble the Roll

  1. 3

    Prepare Fillings

    Slice the fresh salmon, cucumber, and avocado into thin strips.

  2. 4

    Roll the Sushi

    Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take a handful of sushi rice (about 1/2 cup) and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge. Place a line of salmon, cream cheese, cucumber, and avocado across the center of the rice.

  3. 5

    Roll and Slice

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.

Serve

  1. 6

    Presentation

    Arrange the sushi pieces on a plate and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
