Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
  • 100g smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
  • Soy sauce, for serving
  • Pickled ginger, for garnish
  • Wasabi (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Combine rice and water in a pot; bring to a boil then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes.
  3. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved; gently fold into cooked rice and let cool.
  4. Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a nori sheet on top.
  5. Spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
  6. Arrange smoked salmon and avocado slices horizontally across the rice.
  7. Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi tightly from the bottom edge toward the top edge.
  8. Seal the edge with a little water, then slice the roll into 6-8 pieces with a sharp knife.
  9. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi as desired.

Notes

For an extra crunch, add thin strips of cucumber or toasted sesame seeds inside the roll before rolling.
