Sushi Rice

Augusta Roll Filling

For Serving

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Wash the Rice

    Place the sushi rice in a fine-mesh sieve 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. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a wooden spoon or spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare the Filling

  1. 4

    Slice the Fillings

    Cut the fresh salmon into thin strips. Avocado should be sliced into thin wedges, and cucumber should be julienned.

  2. 5

    Prepare Cream Cheese

    If the cream cheese is too firm, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften for easier spreading.

Assemble the Augusta Roll

  1. 6

    Prepare the Rolling Mat

    Lay a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of nori (seaweed) shiny side down on top of it.

  2. 7

    Spread the Rice

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

  3. 8

    Add Fillings

    Lay strips of salmon, avocado wedges, cucumber, and a thin layer of cream cheese horizontally across the rice-covered nori.

  4. 9

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

  5. 10

    Slice the Roll

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep the edges clean.

Serve the Augusta Roll

  1. 11

    Prepare Serving Dishes

    Arrange the sliced rolls on a serving platter. Serve with soy sauce, a dollop of wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
