Servings: 4 rolls
Calories: 280kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked sushi rice divided (see recipe)
- 2 sheets nori
- 2-3 tablespoons white or black sesame seeds
- 4 ounces smoked salmon cut into ½ inch strips
- 4 ounces cream cheese cut into ½ inch strips
- ½ cucumber peeped, seeded, and julienned
- wasabi (for serving)
- pickled ginger (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the sushi rice.
- 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. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
