Ingredients

Ingredients for sushi rice

  • 3 cups cooked Japanese rice
  • 40 ml rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Ingredients for rolls

  • 4-6 oz Salmon
  • 1 Cucumber
  • 1 Avocado
  • 3 nori (dried seaweed) sheets
  • Sesame seeds

Directions

  • Place cooked rice in a container and add rice vinegar, sugar and salt. Mix well.
  • Wrap bamboo mat with plastic wrap and have a bowl of water mixed with a little rice vinegar on the side.
  • Lay a nori sheet with the shiny side facing down on the bamboo mat. Add 1 cup of rice to the center of the nori sheet and wet your fingers with vinegar water.
  • Spread the rice using your fingers, evenly across the nori sheet.
  • Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds onto the rice evenly across.
  • Turn the nori sheet over so the rice is facing down. Move the nori sheet close to the edge of the bottom of the bamboo mat.
  • Cut salmon, cucumber and avocado into stick size pieces and place horizontally on the nori. Each ingredient should form a line across.
  • Grab the bottom edges of the mat with your thumbs and hold on to the toppings with your other fingers.
  • Roll into a tight cylinder and lift the edges of the bamboo mat to prevent it from rolling into the roll together with the filling. The mat should look like the letter C from the side as you roll forward. Keep rolling forward using a little pressure and let go when the roll is done.
  • Cut the roll in half and then into thirds.
  • Serve with soy sauce and wasabi.

A SALMON AVOCADO ROLL YOU CAN MAKE AT HOME

While enjoying maki (sushi rolls) is always a treat, there’s something incredibly satisfying about crafting one yourself. It can even be turned into a fun cooking project with the kids! With sashimi-grade salmon, fresh avocado, a bamboo rolling mat, and a bit of patience for the first few attempts, the process becomes as simple as rolling, cutting, and eating.

However, a great sushi roll involves more than just fish, vegetables, rice, and nori (thin sheets of dried seaweed). To achieve the perfect flavor, a special trio of ingredients is mixed into the cooked rice, seasoning it to match the taste of sushi from your favorite restaurant!

HOW TO MAKE SUSHI RICE

To ensure this cucumber, avocado, and salmon roll has the perfect balance of flavors, properly prepared sushi rice is essential. A combination of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt is blended into freshly cooked short-grain Japanese rice, creating a delicate harmony of sweetness, saltiness, and tanginess. Not only does this enhance the overall taste of the roll, but it also pairs beautifully with wasabi and soy sauce, delivering a well-rounded, complex bite.
