SMOKED SALMON SUSHI

Preparation Method :

• In a small saucepan gently heat the rice vinegar, sugar and salt until the sugar has dissolved.
• Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice when it has finished steaming and stir well to mix.
• Empty the rice out on to a large flat surface. Allow the rice to cool.
• Lay one sheet of sushi nori on a stiff piece of fabric that is a little larger than the sushi nori and spread with half the cooled rice.
• Dampen the hands while doing this to prevent the rice from sticking to the hands. On the nearest edge place half the salmon and half the cucumber strips.
• Roll up the rice and smoked salmon into a tight Swiss roll-like shape.
• Dampen the blade of a sharp knife and cut the sushi into slices about 3 inch thick.
• Repeat with the remaining sushi nori, rice, smoked salmon and cucumber. Serve with wasabi, soy sauce and pickled ginger.
