Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 200 grams Salmon (sushi-grade)
• 1 Avocado
• 1 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 until the water runs clear. This removes the excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Remove the rice from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. Allow the mixture to cool.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a wooden spoon or rice paddle, ensuring the rice retains its texture.

Step 7

Thinly slice the salmon into strips approximately 1 cm wide. Peel and remove the pit from the avocado, then slice it into thin strips.

Step 8

Peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise into thin strips.

Step 9

Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down.

Step 10

Moisten your hands with water and take a handful of sushi rice. Spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 2 cm border at the top edge.

Step 11

Place a strip of salmon, avocado, and cucumber along the center of the rice.

Step 12

Gently lift the edge of the bamboo mat closest to you, rolling the nori over the filling. Use gentle pressure to keep the roll tight.

Step 13

Continue rolling until the end of the nori. Seal the edge of the roll with a little water.

Step 14

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

Step 15

Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into 1-inch pieces, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

Step 16

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