Ingredients

• Sushi rice - 150 grams
• Rice vinegar - 30 ml
• Sugar - 10 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Nori sheets - 4 sheets
• Cucumber - 1 medium, julienned
• Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Smoked salmon - 100 grams
• Pickled ginger - to taste
• Wasabi - to taste
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - to serve

Steps

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak the rice in water for 30 minutes.
2. Drain the rice and cook it in a rice cooker or pot with 200 ml of water for about 20 minutes or until tender.
3. While the rice is cooking, prepare the sushi vinegar by mixing rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.
4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
5. Prepare your fillings: julienne the cucumber and carrot, and slice the avocado.
6. Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface, and lay a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.
7. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 2 cm border at the top.
8. Place a line of smoked salmon, cucumber, carrot, and avocado across the center of the rice.
9. Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll.
10. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
11. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Serve with pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce.
