Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large sheets Nori sheets
- 8 ounces Fresh salmon
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 small Cucumber
- 0.25 cup Gluten-free tamari sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or saucepan.
Cook the rice according to the rice cooker instructions, or bring the rice and water to a boil in the saucepan, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Let it stand covered for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a spatula. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Slice the fresh salmon into thin strips (about 1/2 inch wide) and set aside.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, peel, and slice into thin strips. Peel the cucumber and cut into long, thin strips.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of plastic wrap on top. Lay one nori sheet, shiny side down, on the plastic wrap.
Wet your hands and spread a thin, even layer of rice on the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Arrange a few strips of salmon, avocado, and cucumber horizontally across the rice, about 1 inch from the bottom.
Using the mat, carefully lift the edge of the nori closest to you and begin to roll it over the fillings, pressing gently to form a firm roll. Continue rolling until you reach the end. Lightly press along the length of the roll to secure it.
Using a sharp, wet knife, slice the roll into 8 equal pieces. Repeat the process with remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
Serve the sushi rolls with gluten-free tamari sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
