For Serving

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse and Cook Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker or saucepan. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes until rice is tender.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    Once cooked, remove the rice from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the rice using a wooden spatula, being careful not to mash the grains.

  3. 3

    Cool the Rice

    Spread the seasoned rice onto a baking sheet to cool to room temperature. Cover with a damp cloth to keep moist.

Prepare Fillings

  1. 4

    Slice Vegetables

    Wash and slice the cucumber into thin strips. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and slice it into thin strips.

  2. 5

    Prepare Smoked Salmon

    Cut the smoked salmon into thin strips or small pieces, ensuring they are easy to roll within the sushi.

Assemble Sushi

  1. 6

    Lay Out Nori

    Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking.

  2. 7

    Spread Rice

    Take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge free of rice.

  3. 8

    Add Fillings

    Arrange smoked salmon, cucumber, avocado, and cream cheese in a line across the center of the rice-covered nori.

  4. 9

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

  5. 10

    Cut the Sushi

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Serve

  1. 11

    Present the Sushi

    Arrange the sushi pieces on a serving platter. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
