Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 4 ounces Smoked salmon
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently mix in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
While the rice is cooling, prepare your fillings. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice it thinly. Peel and cut the cucumber into matchstick slices.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and cover it with plastic wrap. Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the plastic-covered mat.
With damp hands, evenly spread about 1/2 cup of the cooled sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Place a few slices of smoked salmon, avocado, and cucumber along the edge closest to you.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to seal the edges as you roll. Use a little water on your fingertips to seal the nori at the seam if needed.
Transfer the roll to a cutting board and use a sharp, wet knife to slice the roll into 6 to 8 even pieces.
Repeat with the remaining nori and fillings.
Serve the dairy-free Philadelphia rolls with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side.
