Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 ounces Smoked salmon
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 small Cucumber
- 3 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- for serving Soy sauce
- for serving Pickled ginger
- for serving Wasabi
Instructions
Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Combine the rice with 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker or a pot. Cook the rice according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes if using a pot.
In a small saucepan, mix 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Allow it to cool.
Once the rice is cooked, place it into a large, non-metallic bowl. Gently fold the vinegar mixture into the warm rice using a wooden spoon or spatula and let the rice cool to room temperature.
Slice the smoked salmon into strips approximately half an inch wide.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel. Slice the avocado into thin strips.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin matchstick strips.
To assemble the rolls, lay a bamboo sushi mat flat. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the mat to prevent sticking.
Place one nori sheet on the plastic wrap, shiny side down.
Spread a third of the sushi rice evenly across the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Sprinkle a thin layer of sesame seeds over the rice for added flavor.
Arrange smoked salmon, avocado, and cucumber lengthwise across the rice at the bottom edge.
Using the bamboo mat to assist, carefully roll the nori over the filling, compressing slightly as you roll. Dab a little water along the top edge to seal the roll.
Use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice the roll into 8 pieces.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make 3 rolls.
Serve the Alaskan rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
