Instructions
Prepare Sushi Rice:

- Place the bamboo sushi rolling mat on a flat surface.
- Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over the mat.
- Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the plastic wrap.
Assemble Sushi Rolls:
- Wet your fingers with water to prevent the rice from sticking.
- Spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
- Lay slices of salmon across the rice.
Roll the Sushi:
- Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the sushi from the bottom, applying gentle pressure to create a tight roll.
- Seal the edge with a bit of water.
Slice the Roll:
- With a sharp, wet knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.
- Clean the knife between cuts to ensure clean edges.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Arrange the Salmon Sushi on a serving plate.
- Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
Repeat for Additional Rolls:
- Repeat the process to make additional rolls with the remaining ingredients.
Notes
Experiment with different fillings like avocado, cucumber, or cream cheese for added variety.
