Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 200 grams Fresh salmon, skinless and sliced into strips
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon Pickled ginger
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps the rice stick together.
Step 2
Combine 1 cup of sushi rice with 1.25 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 10 minutes.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a wooden spoon. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Step 5
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Place one sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.
Step 6
Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then spread a thin layer of rice over two-thirds of the nori sheet, keeping a 1-inch border at the top.
Step 7
Place a strip of salmon, some avocado slices, and a few cucumber sticks horizontally across the center of the rice.
Step 8
Add a small amount of wasabi paste along the salmon if desired. Be cautious as it can be very spicy!
Step 9
Lift the edge of the mat closest to you and start rolling the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a compact roll. Use the mat to shape and tighten the roll as you go.
Step 10
Once the roll is complete, allow it to sit for a minute, seam side down. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
Step 11
With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Step 12
Serve the sushi rolls with pickled ginger on the side. Enjoy your soy-free sushi with optional coconut aminos for dipping, keeping it soy-free!
