Ingredients

• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 200 grams Sashimi-grade salmon
• 0.5 pieces Cucumber
• 1 pieces Avocado
• 1 cup Short-grain sushi rice
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Wasabi (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the short-grain sushi rice in a fine sieve under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Cook the rice according to the package instructions or use a rice cooker for best results. Typically, this will involve using a 1:1 ratio of rice to water.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, prepare the vinegar seasoning by combining the rice vinegar and salt in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar seasoning while the rice is still warm. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Slice the sashimi-grade salmon into thin strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide.

Step 6

Peel and slice the cucumber into thin sticks, and slice the avocado into thin wedges.

Step 7

To assemble each handroll, place a nori sheet with the shiny side down on a clean, dry surface. Spread a thin layer (about 1/4 cup) of sushi rice onto one side of the nori sheet.

Step 8

Sprinkle a small amount of sesame seeds over the rice for additional flavor and texture.

Step 9

Lay a few slices of salmon, cucumber sticks, and avocado wedges diagonally across the center of the rice.

Step 10

Roll the nori sheet into a cone shape, starting from one corner and rolling toward the opposite edge. The rice should be tucked inside and only partially visible at the top of the cone.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 12

Serve immediately with soy sauce and wasabi on the side for optional dipping.
