Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 ounces Fresh salmon
- 2 pieces Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 stalk Green onions
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it sit covered for 10 minutes.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Once dissolved, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked rice to a large, shallow bowl. Gradually add the vinegar mixture, gently folding the rice with a spatula to combine. Allow rice to cool to room temperature.
Chop the fresh salmon into small, bite-sized pieces. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to create spicy mayo.
Finely chop the green onion and set it aside for garnish.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel the skin. Cut into thin strips.
Place a sheet of nori on the bamboo rolling mat, shiny side down. With wet hands, evenly spread half of the prepared sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Spread half of the spicy mayo mixture over the layer of rice. Arrange half of the salmon pieces in a line about 1-inch from the bottom edge of the rice. Place avocado strips next to the salmon.
Carefully roll the sushi into a tight cylinder using the bamboo mat to help, making sure the ingredients stay in place.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the second roll.
With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 even pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.
Arrange the spicy salmon rolls on a serving plate. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Serve immediately with soy sauce for dipping.
