Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sushi rice
- 2.5 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
- 8 sticks Imitation crab sticks
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 8 ounces Fresh salmon
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- to taste Soy sauce
- for serving Pickled ginger
- optional Wasabi
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Let cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked sushi rice to a large, shallow container and gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a wooden spatula. Let the rice cool to room temperature, covering it with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
Prep the fillings by slicing the avocado and cucumber into thin strips. Flake the imitation crab sticks into smaller pieces. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha for a spicy mayo topping.
Slice the fresh salmon into thin, even strips wide enough to cover the roll.
Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat lined with plastic wrap. With damp hands, spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge.
Flip the nori sheet over so the rice side faces down. Place a few strips of cucumber, avocado, and imitation crab in the center.
Using the sushi mat, tightly roll the nori and rice over the fillings. Press gently but firmly to maintain a tight roll. Repeat with the remaining sheets and ingredients.
Lay the salmon slices across the top of each roll, covering them completely. Use the plastic wrap to press the salmon gently onto the roll.
Carefully slice each roll into 8 equal pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rolls and drizzle with spicy mayo. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
