Smoked Salmon Sushi Roll

Ingredients

• 2 cups Japanese sushi rice
• 6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 6 sheetss nori , dry seaweed
• 2 tablespoons wasabi paste
• 8 ounces smoked salmon , cut into long strips
• 1 cucumber , peeled and sliced
• 1 avocado - peeled , pitted and sliced

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak rice for 4 hours. Drain rice and cook in a rice cooker with 2 cups of water. Rice must be slightly dry as vinegar will be added later.

2. 2

   Immediately after rice is cooked, mix in rice wine vinegar; spread rice on a plate until completely cool.

3. 3

   Place 1 sheet of seaweed on a bamboo mat; press a thin layer of cool rice on seaweed, leaving at least a 1/2 inch top and bottom edge of the seaweed uncovered. This is for easier sealing later. Dot some wasabi on rice; arrange smoked salmon, cucumber, and avocado on rice about 1 inch away from the bottom edge of seaweed.

4. 4

   Slightly wet the top edge of seaweed; roll up tightly from the bottom to the top edge with the help of the bamboo mat. Cut salmon roll into 8 equal pieces and serve. Repeat for other rolls.
