Condiments

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 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 and helps the rice to be less sticky.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare Fillings

  1. 4

    Slice the Salmon

    Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh salmon fillet into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin strips. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin pieces.

Assemble Sushi

  1. 6

    Prepare the Nori

    Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat.

  2. 7

    Add Sushi Rice

    With wet hands, take about 1 cup of sushi rice and evenly spread it over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.

  3. 8

    Layer Fillings

    Place a few strips of salmon, cucumber, and avocado horizontally across the rice, about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom edge.

  4. 9

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the sushi away from you, gently but firmly. Roll until the rice-covered nori is fully rolled over the fillings.

  5. 10

    Slice the Roll

    Using a sharp knife, wet the blade and slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Serve

  1. 11

    Plate and Serve

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