Ingredients
Scale
For Sushi Rice
- 1 cup sushi rice (short grain sushi rice works the best)
- 1 cup water
- 1 ½ tablespoons optional sushi vinegar (or mixing 1 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt)
For Philadelphia Roll
- 4 oz smoked salmon
- 4 oz cream cheese (cut into ½-inch strips)
- 1/2 cucumber (cut into ½-inch strips)
- 2 sheets nori (seaweed sheet)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (you can toast it in a hot skillet for a few minutes for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Rinse the rice, then add it to the rice cooker with some water to make sushi rice. Transfer the cooked food to a sizable bowl and allow it to cool somewhat. Stir in the sushi vinegar while it’s still very heated (or the mixture of rice vinegar, sugar and salt).
- Prepare the Philadelphia Sushi Roll by spreading the bamboo mat out and covering it with plastic wrap (this will prevent rice from sticking to the bamboo).
- On top of the mat, place half of the nori sheet.
- Take around 3/4 cup of the cooked rice and dip your hands in vinegar water (this will stop the rice from sticking to your hands). distributed evenly over nori.
- The rice should now be face down.
- Strips of smoked salmon should be 1/2 inch wide.
- On top of the nori, arrange the smoked salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber.
- Lift the edge of the bamboo mat up and over the filling by placing the thumbs underneath.
- Apply pressure to the bamboo mat to tighten it up as you roll it away from you. Roll on until the ends converge.
- After removing the bamboo mat, sprinkle sesame seeds over the roll.
- Divide each roll into eight pieces. Dispense and savor!
