Ingredients

• Sushi rice - 150 grams
• Water - 200 ml
• Rice vinegar - 30 ml
• Sugar - 10 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Fresh salmon fillet - 100 grams (sushi-grade)
• Cooked shrimp - 100 grams
• Mango - 1 ripe (about 200 grams)
• Avocado - 1 medium (about 150 grams)
• Coconut milk - 50 ml
• Lime juice - 10 ml
• Sesame seeds - 10 grams
• Nori sheets - 2 sheets
• Fresh cilantro - 10 grams

Steps

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice in a pot with 200 ml of water, bringing it to a boil, then covering and simmering for 18-20 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice has cooled slightly, fold this mixture into the rice gently with a wooden spoon. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
3. While the rice cools, prepare the fillings: dice the salmon, cooked shrimp, mango, and avocado into small pieces. Set aside.
4. In a small bowl, mix the coconut milk with lime juice for a refreshing sauce.
5. To assemble the sushi, place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take a small handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving about 2 cm at the top edge.
6. Place a line of diced salmon, shrimp, mango, and avocado along the center of the rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.
7. Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces.
8. Repeat with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients. Serve the sushi rolls with the coconut-lime sauce on the side.
