Ingredients

• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 2.5 cups Water
• 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 200 grams Fresh salmon
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0 for serving Soy sauce
• 0 for serving Wasabi
• 0 for serving Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Cook for 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, in a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gradually fold in the vinegar mixture using a wooden spoon or a rice paddle. Be careful not to mash the rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the fillings. Cut the fresh salmon into thin strips. Peel and slice the cucumber and avocado into long, thin strips.

Step 6

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

Step 7

With wet hands, spread an even layer of prepared sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of nori at the top edge uncovered.

Step 8

Arrange a few strips of salmon, cucumber, and avocado horizontally across the rice, about 1 inch from the bottom edge.

Step 9

Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to ensure a tight roll. Continue rolling until the uncovered nori seals the roll.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 11

Use a sharp, wet knife to slice each roll into 6 to 8 equal pieces.

Step 12

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
