Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 4 whole Nori sheets
- 0.5 pound Fresh salmon fillet
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice in a fine mesh sieve under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
While the rice is cooking, in a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar and sugar until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Cut the salmon fillet into thin strips or cubes. Ensure the salmon is fresh and sushi-grade.
Peel the cucumber and cut into thin matchsticks about 4 inches long. Halve and pit the avocado, then slice it thinly.
To assemble the hand rolls, lay a nori sheet flat on a clean, dry surface. Place a lettuce leaf on the left side of the nori sheet.
On top of the lettuce, add a small scoop of the seasoned rice, spreading it gently and evenly using damp fingers to prevent sticking.
Layer a few pieces of salmon, cucumber sticks, and avocado slices over the rice.
Sprinkle a few sesame seeds over the top.
Start from the filled side (left) and roll the nori tightly into a cone shape, ensuring all the ingredients are wrapped securely.
Repeat for the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.
Serve the salmon hand rolls immediately with a side of low sodium soy sauce for dipping.
