Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sushi-grade salmon
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 sheets Nori sheets
- 0.5 pieces Cucumber
- 1 piece Avocado
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste (optional)
- 50 grams Pickled ginger (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium pot, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold the mixture into the cooked rice with a spatula, being careful not to crush the grains. Set the rice aside to cool to room temperature.
Slice the sushi-grade salmon into thin strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide and 2-3 inches long.
Julienne the cucumber into thin matchstick slices and cut the avocado into 1/4 inch thick strips.
Cut each nori sheet in half to create 6 smaller rectangles.
To assemble a temaki, place one rectangle of nori shiny side down on a clean surface, with the long edge facing you. Wet your fingers slightly to prevent sticking, then spread a small amount of rice (about 2 tablespoons) over the left half of the nori, leaving a 1/2 inch border at the edges.
Layer a few strips of salmon, cucumber, and avocado diagonally across the rice. Add a small dab of wasabi if desired.
Fold the bottom-left corner of the nori up and over the filling, then roll it into a cone shape. Press gently to seal the edges. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Serve the temaki immediately with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and additional wasabi on the side.
