Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 cups Japanese sushi rice
6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
6 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
8 ounces smoked salmon, cut into long strips
2 tablespoons wasabi paste

Steps:

Soak rice for 4 hours. Drain rice and cook in a rice cooker with 2 cups of water. Rice must be slightly dry as vinegar will be added later.
Immediately after rice is cooked, mix in 6 tablespoons rice vinegar to the hot rice. Spread rice on a plate until completely cool.
Place 1 sheet of seaweed on bamboo mat, press a thin layer of cool rice on the seaweed. Leave at least 1/2 inch top and bottom edge of the seaweed uncovered. This is for easier sealing later. Dot some wasabi on the rice. Arrange cucumber, avocado and smoked salmon to the rice. Position them about 1 inch away from the bottom edge of the seaweed.
Slightly wet the top edge of the seaweed. Roll from bottom to the top edge with the help of the bamboo mat tightly. Cut roll into 8 equal pieces and serve. Repeat for other rolls.

Tips:

Use high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor.
Choose sushi rice that is specifically designed for sushi, as it has a higher starch content that helps it hold its shape.
Make sure the rice is cooked properly, as undercooked rice will be too hard and overcooked rice will be too mushy.
When spreading the rice onto the nori sheet, use a damp bamboo mat to help you get an even layer.
Be careful not to overfill the sushi roll, as it will be difficult to roll up.
If you are having trouble rolling the sushi, you can use a rolling mat to help you.
When slicing the sushi roll, use a sharp knife and make sure to wipe it clean between each slice.
Serve the sushi roll with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
