Preparation time
40min
Ingredients
4 Servings
- 1 avocado
- 1 cucumber
- 5 nori sheets
- 0.5 cup rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 200 grams smoked salmon
- soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2.5 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Step 2
Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the rice cooker instructions.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Allow to cool.
Step 4
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
Step 5
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and cover it with plastic wrap. Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat.
Step 6
Wet your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 2 cm border at the top.
Step 7
Arrange strips of smoked salmon, cucumber, and avocado across the center of the rice.
Step 8
Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a firm roll.
Step 9
Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water.
Step 10
Serve with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
