Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 200 grams Fresh salmon, skinless and sliced into strips
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon Pickled ginger
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps the rice stick together.
Combine 1 cup of sushi rice with 1.25 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a wooden spoon. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Place one sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.
Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then spread a thin layer of rice over two-thirds of the nori sheet, keeping a 1-inch border at the top.
Place a strip of salmon, some avocado slices, and a few cucumber sticks horizontally across the center of the rice.
Add a small amount of wasabi paste along the salmon if desired. Be cautious as it can be very spicy!
Lift the edge of the mat closest to you and start rolling the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a compact roll. Use the mat to shape and tighten the roll as you go.
Once the roll is complete, allow it to sit for a minute, seam side down. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Serve the sushi rolls with pickled ginger on the side. Enjoy your soy-free sushi with optional coconut aminos for dipping, keeping it soy-free!
