Ingredients

• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 2.5 cups Water
• 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 8 ounces Fresh salmon
• 5 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 large Avocado
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, or bring to a boil in a pot and simmer covered for 20 minutes. Let it sit covered for 10 additional minutes off the heat.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Gradually fold in the vinegar mixture while gently separating the grains with a wooden paddle or spoon. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Slice the fresh salmon into thin, uniform strips.

Step 6

Peel the cucumber and cut it into long, thin strips. Halve and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Place a few strips of salmon, cucumber, and avocado horizontally across the rice, about 1 inch from the bottom edge.

Step 10

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi tightly from the bottom up, applying gentle pressure. Seal the roll with a dab of water along the top border.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 12

With a sharp knife, slice the rolls into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to maintain clean edges.

Step 13

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