Recipe: Sushi Rolls 🔗

Ingredients 🔗

• 2 cups cooked sushi rice
• 4 sheets nori seaweed
• 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
• 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 4 ounces raw salmon, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• Soy sauce and pickled ginger, for serving

Directions 🔗

Step 1 🔗

Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo rolling mat. Wet your hands and spread 1/2 cup of sushi rice onto the nori in an even layer, leaving about an inch at the far end of the nori uncovered. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 2 🔗

Turn the nori over so that the rice is facing down and arrange your fillings in a line across the bottom third of the nori sheet. Start with a few slices of avocado, followed by cucumber and salmon. Lift up the edge of the rolling mat nearest to you and use it to help you tightly roll up the nori into a cylinder shape. Use your fingers to press down on the roll as you go to ensure it’s tightly packed together. Once it’s rolled up completely, use your fingers again to press down on top to form an even seal at both ends. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Step 3 🔗

Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce and pickled ginger for dipping. Enjoy!
