Ingredients For Sushi

• 2 cups Japanese sushi rice

• 6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

• 6 sheets 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

Directions 

Step 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.

Step 2: Immediately after rice is cooked, mix in rice wine vinegar; spread rice on a plate until completely cool.

Step 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.

Step 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.
