Ingredients

• 200 grams Sushi-grade salmon
• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 sheets Nori sheets
• 0.5 pieces Cucumber
• 1 piece Avocado
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste (optional)
• 50 grams Pickled ginger (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium pot, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold the mixture into the cooked rice with a spatula, being careful not to crush the grains. Set the rice aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Slice the sushi-grade salmon into thin strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide and 2-3 inches long.

Step 5

Julienne the cucumber into thin matchstick slices and cut the avocado into 1/4 inch thick strips.

Step 6

Cut each nori sheet in half to create 6 smaller rectangles.

Step 7

To assemble a temaki, place one rectangle of nori shiny side down on a clean surface, with the long edge facing you. Wet your fingers slightly to prevent sticking, then spread a small amount of rice (about 2 tablespoons) over the left half of the nori, leaving a 1/2 inch border at the edges.

Step 8

Layer a few strips of salmon, cucumber, and avocado diagonally across the rice. Add a small dab of wasabi if desired.

Step 9

Fold the bottom-left corner of the nori up and over the filling, then roll it into a cone shape. Press gently to seal the edges. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Step 10

Serve the temaki immediately with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and additional wasabi on the side.
