Ingredients

• 200 grams Sushi rice
• 250 ml Water
• 30 ml Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 sheets Nori sheets
• 100 grams Fresh salmon (sashimi grade)
• 50 grams Cream cheese
• 1 small Cucumber
• 0 to taste Soy sauce
• 0 to taste Pickled ginger
• 0 to taste Wasabi

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water for several minutes until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Combine the rinsed sushi rice and 250 ml of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a wooden spoon or rice paddle. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Step 7

While the rice is cooling, cut the salmon into thin strips and the cucumber into julienne strips.

Step 8

Place a bamboo sushi mat on the counter and cover it with plastic wrap.

Step 9

Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the plastic-covered mat.

Step 10

Dampen your hands with water and spread a layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on the top edge.

Step 11

Place a strip of cream cheese, a few salmon strips, and cucumber along the bottom edge of the rice.

Step 12

Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori tightly over the filling, applying gentle pressure to shape it into a cylinder.

Step 13

Seal the roll by moistening the uncovered nori edge and gently pressing it into the roll.

Step 14

Use a sharp knife to carefully cut the roll into 6-8 even pieces, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts.

Step 15

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