Instructions
Main Course
1
Start by washing the rice under running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
2
Cook the rice in the pot with the 2 ½ cups of water for 20 minutes or until it is tender.
3
While the rice is cooking, mix the vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
4
After the rice is cooked, pour the vinegar mixture over it and stir gently with a spatula, letting it cool.
5
On a flat surface, place the bamboo mat and a sheet of nori seaweed on it.
6
With wet hands, spread a thin layer of rice over the seaweed, leaving 3 cm at the top.
7
Place strips of avocado and salmon in the center of the rice.
8
Lift the edge of the mat and start rolling, pressing lightly, until forming a compact roll.
9
Use a damp knife to cut the roll into equal pieces.

Chef Tips
- Dampen your hands in a bowl with water and vinegar before spreading the rice so it doesn't stick to your fingers.
- Keep the knife blade moist and clean between each slice to get straight cuts without crushing the roll.
- Choose an avocado firm to the touch so that the strips maintain their shape when pressing the mat.
Variations
- Uramaki: place the rice facing down on the mat and roll with the seaweed inside and sesame seeds on the outside. - Roll with cream cheese: add a narrow strip of cream cheese next to the salmon and avocado. - Hot roll: bread the whole roll in a light flour and panko batter before frying quickly in hot oil.
Substitutions
- Fresh salmon can be replaced by raw tuna in strips, shredded kani-kama, or cooked shrimp. - Rice vinegar can be swapped for mild apple cider vinegar diluted in equal parts water. - The avocado can be replaced with thin slices of firm mango or crunchy strips of Japanese cucumber.
How to Store
Consume the rolls right after preparation to keep the nori seaweed crispy. Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, although the seaweed will lose its crunchy texture with humidity.
Can You Freeze It?
Do not freeze assembled sushi rolls. Rice hardens and becomes brittle at low temperatures, while thawed avocado and salmon release excess water, destroying the shape and flavor of the dish.
What to Serve With
Serve with traditional soy sauce in individual bowls, wasabi horseradish paste, and pickled ginger slices. A cup of hot green tea closes the composition in an authentic way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it mandatory to use specific rice for sushi?
Short-grain Japanese rice contains a high proportion of amylopectin, which ensures the binding and adhesion necessary to shape and cut the rolls without them falling apart.
How to prevent rice from sticking to hands and the knife during assembly?
Keep a bowl with water and a little vinegar nearby; lightly run your fingertips and wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth or water before each cut.
Does the salmon need to be frozen beforehand for biological safety?
Yes, for raw domestic consumption it is recommended to use fresh fish from a reliable source that has undergone prior freezing at -20°C for at least 24 to 48 hours to eliminate parasites.
Can I prepare sushi rice one day in advance?
It is not indicated to refrigerate the seasoned rice from one day to the next before rolling, as the cold hardens the grains and hinders the fixation of the ingredients.
