Smoked Salmon Sushi Rolls

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Smoked Salmon Sushi Rolls.

1. Step 1

   Start by rinsing your sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, ensuring you wash away any excess starch.

2. Step 2

   After rinsing, soak the rice in fresh water for about four hours, then drain it well.

3. Step 3

   Next, cook the soaked rice in a rice cooker with two cups of water until it becomes tender.

4. Step 4

   Aim for a slightly drier texture, as this will help the rice absorb the vinegar later on.

5. Step 5

   Once your rice is perfectly cooked, transfer it to a large plate and gently mix in rice wine vinegar, allowing it to cool completely.

6. Step 6

   Now, grab a sheet of nori and place it on a bamboo sushi mat.

7. Step 7

   Spread a thin layer of the cooled rice over the nori, leaving about half an inch at the top and bottom edges uncovered—this will help seal your roll later.

8. Step 8

   For a little kick, dot some wasabi paste on the rice, then layer on your smoked salmon, cucumber slices, and creamy avocado, positioning them about an inch from the bottom edge of the nori.

9. Step 9

   To roll your sushi, moisten the top edge of the nori with a bit of water.

10. Step 10

    Carefully roll the sushi tightly from the bottom to the top edge, using the bamboo mat to guide you.

11. Step 11

    Once you have a beautiful roll, slice it into eight equal pieces with a sharp knife.

12. Step 12

    Serve your sushi immediately and savor the delightful flavors! If you have more ingredients, just repeat the process to create additional rolls.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy your sushi-making adventure!.
