Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1.25 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 sheets nori (seaweed) sheets
- 4 ounces fresh salmon (sushi-grade)
- 1 whole avocado
- 0.5 whole cucumber
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- for serving soy sauce
- for serving wasabi
- for serving pickled ginger
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker or a pot. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves. Gently fold the mixture into the cooked rice with a wooden spoon or rice paddle until evenly distributed. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Prepare your fillings. Slice the salmon into long, thin strips. Peel, pit, and slice the avocado. Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin strips.
Cover a bamboo sushi mat with plastic wrap. Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking and spread about half of the sushi rice evenly over the nori.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds over the rice. Carefully flip the nori so that the rice side is facing down and the nori side is facing up.
Place half of the salmon, avocado slices, and cucumber strips along one edge of the nori.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the edge of the nori over the filling, pressing gently but firmly to form a tight roll. Continue rolling until the seam is underneath.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to form a second roll.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 equal pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.
Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping and garnish. Enjoy your homemade inside-out sushi rolls!
