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 or tuna (sashimi-grade)
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 2 teaspoons Wasabi
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat. Let the rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a spatula, cutting through rice without smashing it. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Cut the fish into thin strips suitable for a hand roll.

Step 7

Halve the cucumber lengthwise and remove seeds. Cut into thin, long strips.

Step 8

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips.

Step 9

Cut each nori sheet in half vertically. Place one half on a flat surface with a short end close to you.

Step 10

With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the left half of the nori sheet, leaving a border along the edge.

Step 11

Place a few strips of fish, cucumber, and avocado diagonally across the rice.

Step 12

Add a small dab of wasabi if desired.

Step 13

Roll the nori into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a few grains of rice.

Step 14

Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Step 15

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