Ingredients

• 200 grams Sushi-grade salmon
• 1 cup Short-grain brown rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 0.5 cup Pickled ginger
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot, combine the rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Step 3

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar and low-sodium soy sauce. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice to season it, then allow the rice to cool completely.

Step 5

While the rice is cooling, slice the sushi-grade salmon into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long.

Step 6

Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips, similarly sized to the salmon.

Step 7

Peel the cucumber, remove seeds, and cut into long, thin strips.

Step 8

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and cover it with a piece of plastic wrap. Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat.

Step 9

With wet hands, spread a thin, even layer of seasoned rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 10

Place a few slices of salmon, avocado, and cucumber horizontally along the center of the rice.

Step 11

Lift the edge of the sushi mat closest to you and roll it up and over the filling, using the mat to help shape the roll.

Step 12

Continue rolling and gently pressing until you reach the border without rice. Moisten the edge with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 13

Using a sharp, wet knife, cut the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with the remaining nori and ingredients.

Step 14

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi rolls before serving.

Step 15

Serve the sushi rolls with wasabi, pickled ginger, and low-sodium soy sauce for dipping.
