"I've been making sushi from this recipe for about three years now," says Annette Self. "I've tried many variations of ingredients. It is an art no doubt. Patience is indeed needed, but quickness is a necessity. I also make a teriyaki-honey sauce for dipping."
"Making this was surprisingly easy," according to FRAMBUESA. "I've never made sushi before and didn't have a mat to roll the sushi into, but making the rolls in wax paper was a fine sub for the sushi mats and the flavor was excellent."
"Make sure you keep your fingers wet when rolling so the rice doesn't stick to your fingers," advises phibie. "It helps to keep a small bowl of water by you to dip your fingers in."

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