Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 sheets nori (seaweed) sheets
• 4 ounces fresh salmon (sushi-grade)
• 1 whole avocado
• 0.5 whole cucumber
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 0 for serving soy sauce
• 0 for serving wasabi
• 0 for serving pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker or a pot. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves. Gently fold the mixture into the cooked rice with a wooden spoon or rice paddle until evenly distributed. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Prepare your fillings. Slice the salmon into long, thin strips. Peel, pit, and slice the avocado. Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin strips.

Step 4

Cover a bamboo sushi mat with plastic wrap. Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking and spread about half of the sushi rice evenly over the nori.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds over the rice. Carefully flip the nori so that the rice side is facing down and the nori side is facing up.

Step 6

Place half of the salmon, avocado slices, and cucumber strips along one edge of the nori.

Step 7

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the edge of the nori over the filling, pressing gently but firmly to form a tight roll. Continue rolling until the seam is underneath.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining ingredients to form a second roll.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 equal pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping and garnish. Enjoy your homemade inside-out sushi rolls!
