Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Protein powder (unflavored)
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 200 grams Fresh salmon, sliced
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0 Soy sauce
• 0 Wasabi
• 0 Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold the vinegar mixture and protein powder into the cooked rice using a wooden spatula. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Place a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.

Step 5

With slightly dampened hands, spread about 1/4 of the prepared rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 6

Place a few slices of salmon and avocado, and a strip of cucumber in a line across the center of the rice.

Step 7

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi tightly from the bottom up to encase the filling. Use the exposed edge of the nori to seal the roll by slightly moistening it with water.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 10

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