Sushi Rice
Salmon and Fillings
Method
Prepare the Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.
- 3
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a wooden spoon. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Prepare Fillings

Slice the Salmon
Thinly slice the fresh salmon fillet into strips.

Prepare the Cucumber
Cut the cucumber into thin matchstick-sized strips.

Assemble the Sushi Rolls

Lay Out the Nori
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and put a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

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

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Roll until the nori is sealed with a bit of water.

Slice the Rolls
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to make slicing easier.
