Ingredients

• 1 cup Gluten-free sushi rice
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
• 2 pieces Nori sheets
• 2 ounces Cream cheese
• 3 ounces Smoked salmon
• 1 small Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the gluten-free sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a pot, combine 1 cup of rinsed rice with 1.5 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and rice is tender.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and gluten-free tamari (or soy sauce) in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and stir in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds using a spoon. Slice the cucumber into thin strips.

Step 6

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and put a leaf of plastic wrap over it to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Lay down a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the bamboo mat.

Step 8

Wet your hands slightly and spread a thin layer of the cooled sushi rice over two-thirds of the nori sheet.

Step 9

Place strips of smoked salmon, cucumber, and cream cheese along the center of the rice-covered area of the nori.

Step 10

Carefully lift the edge of the bamboo mat closest to you and roll it forward until the nori edges meet. Press gently to seal the roll.

Step 11

Unwrap the roll from the bamboo mat and plastic wrap. Use a sharp knife, moistened with water, to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 12

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each roll piece for added flavor and texture.

Step 13

Serve the gluten-free Philadelphia rolls with additional gluten-free tamari (or soy sauce) on the side for dipping.
