Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Sushi rice (1 1/2 cups)
  • Water (2 cups)
  • Nori sheets (4 sheets)
  • Barbecued salmon (1 cup, flaked)
  • Cucumber (1, julienned)
  • Soy sauce (to taste, for serving)
  • Wasabi (to taste, for serving)
  • Pickled ginger (to taste, for serving)
  • Rice vinegar (1/4 cup)
  • Sugar (2 tablespoons)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. Combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  3. While the rice is cooking, prepare the sushi vinegar by mixing rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
  4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the sushi vinegar. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature, which helps it become easier to handle.
  5. Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge for sealing.
  6. Place a line of flaked barbecued salmon and julienned cucumber in the center of the rice.
  7. Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently to keep the roll compact. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
  8. Repeat the rolling process with the remaining ingredients, ensuring you have enough rice and fillings.
  9. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.
  10. Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping.
