Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh salmon fillet
- 160 grams Japanese sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 0.5 pieces Cucumber
- 0.5 pieces Avocado
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps the rice become sticky when cooked.
Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions or using a rice cooker until it becomes tender.
While the rice is cooking, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Slice the fresh salmon fillet into thin, long strips suitable for rolling. It's important to ensure the salmon is very fresh and ideally sushi-grade.
Prepare the vegetables: peel and cut the cucumber into thin strips, peel and slice the avocado, and chop the green onions finely.
Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a clean kitchen surface or sushi rolling mat.
Spread a quarter of the cooled sushi rice evenly over one half of the nori sheet, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
On top of the rice, place two strips of salmon, cucumber, avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
Squeeze a small line of wasabi paste along the filling if you desire a little extra kick.
To roll, start from the edge with the rice and fillings, lifting the nori and rolling it towards the other side, creating a cone shape. Seal the edge with a few grains of rice to stick the nori closed.
Repeat the process for the remaining 3 handrolls.
Serve immediately with low-sodium soy sauce for dipping and any leftover wasabi.
