Method
Preparing Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice with 2.5 cups of water. Cook according to your rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- 3
Season the Rice
Once cooked, remove from heat. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a wooden spatula. Let it cool to room temperature.

Prepare Cream Cheese
Soften the cream cheese slightly if needed for easy spreading. You can also mix it with a little wasabi for a spicy kick.
Rolling the Sushi
- 6
Prepare the Rolling Station
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a sheet of nori shiny side down on the mat.
- 7
Spread the Rice
Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly across the nori, leaving about an inch of nori at the top edge.
- 8
Add Fillings
Arrange a few slices of salmon, cucumber, avocado, and a thin layer of cream cheese in a line across the center of the rice.
- 9
Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully lift the edge of the mat closest to you and start rolling it away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Continue rolling until you reach the bare edge of the nori. Wet the edge with a little water to seal it.

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