100+ ideas

This Philadelphia sushi roll recipe is made with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber - a delicious American twist on traditional Japanese sushi.

Here's what you'll need...

You'll Need:

– 3 cups cooked sushi rice – 2 sheets nori – 2-3 tablespoons sesame seeds – 4 ounces smoked salmon – 4 ounces cream cheese – ½ cucumber

Equipment:

- Bamboo Rolling Mat - Mixing Bowls - Sharp Knife - Cutting Board - Rice Maker (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the sushi rice and allow it to cool.

Instructions:

Cut both sheets of nori in half. Lay one piece of nori shiny side down, on a bamboo mat covered in plastic wrap. Spread about ¾ cup of rice evenly on the nori sheet. 

Instructions:

If needed, wet hands to help spread the rice. If desired, sprinkle with ½ tablespoon of white or black sesame seeds, making sure they adhere to the rice.

Instructions:

Flip the nori over (rice side facing down). Place ¼ of the smoked salmon along the bottom of the nori. Add a few slices of cream cheese and cucumber right above the salmon.

Instructions:

Grab the nori and the rolling mat. Fold the nori over until it touches itself. Continue rolling until a complete roll is formed. Squeeze gently, but firmly. Repeat with remaining 3 nori sheets.

Instructions:

Transfer to a cutting board. With a very sharp knife, slice roll into 8 slices. Wipe knife on a damp cloth in between each cut to keep the rice from sticking. Serve immediately with wasabi and pickled ginger.
