Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 pieces Nori sheets
- 4 ounces Salmon, thinly sliced
- 0.5 whole Avocado, sliced
- 0.25 whole Cucumber, julienned
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover the saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
Transfer the cooked rice to a wooden or plastic bowl and fold in the vinegar mixture using a wooden spatula. Let it cool to room temperature.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a piece of plastic wrap over it.
Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on top of the plastic wrap.
With wet hands, spread half of the rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice and gently press them in.
Carefully flip the nori sheet over so that the rice is facing down on the plastic wrap.
Place half the salmon slices, avocado slices, and cucumber julienne across the bottom third of the nori.
Using the bamboo mat and plastic wrap, roll the sushi away from you, keeping it tight as you go.
Press the mat firmly to seal the edges, forming a neat roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second roll.
With a sharp knife, slice the rolls into 6 pieces each.
Serve with wasabi and low-sodium soy sauce on the side for dipping.
