Ingredients

• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 0.25 cups Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 8 whole Nori sheets
• 8 ounces Fresh sushi-grade salmon
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 whole Avocado
• 0 for serving Soy sauce
• 0 for serving Pickled ginger
• 0 for serving Wasabi

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, prepare the sushi vinegar by mixing the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar and salt fully dissolve.

Step 3

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the sushi vinegar seasoning while the rice is still hot. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Cut the fresh sushi-grade salmon into long, thin strips.

Step 5

Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin sticks, matching the length of the salmon.

Step 6

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel, and slice the flesh into thin strips.

Step 7

Halve the nori sheets along their longer side to create shorter strips.

Step 8

To assemble the hand rolls, place a half sheet of nori in your hand, glossy side down, and spread a thin layer of sushi rice on one side.

Step 9

Lay a few strips each of salmon, cucumber, and avocado over the rice.

Step 10

Fold the nori into a cone shape by rolling it from one corner to the opposite edge, ensuring the ingredients are secure inside.

Step 11

Serve the hand rolls immediately with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side for dipping and added flavor.
