Ingredients

  • 1 cup premium short grain rice Kagayaki
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 ounces sushi grade salmon no skin
  • 1/3 cup red or black lumpfish caviar (optional)
  • 2 sheets roasted seaweed
  • 1/2 avocado sliced
  • 1 teaspoon wasabi powder
  • 1 tablespoon pickled ginger optional

Equipment

  • 1 pot with lid
  • 1 sushi bamboo mat
  • plastic wrap or cling wrap
  • knife
  • 1 fine strainer

Instructions

  1. Rinse rice in a fine strainer.  Put rice and water in a pot over medium high heat.  Once it is simmering, cover with a lid and turn heat down to low.  Simmer for 20 minutes.  Then turn off heat and keep covered for an additional 10 minutes.
  2. Wrap bamboo mat with plastic.
  3. Lay a sheet of seaweed on mat.  When rice is done, cover seaweed with a thin layer of rice, about 1/3 cup.  Wet your hands to keep rice from sticking to you.  Gently press rice into seaweed.  You can also spread the rice with the back of a spoon if that helps keep it from sticking.
  4. Cut the salmon into 1/2 inch wide, long strips and lay in the middle of the rice.  Lay 1/2 of the avocado slices next to salmon.  Top with a row of 1/2 the caviar.
  5. Using the mat, roll up the maki with gentle but firm pressure.  Once the roll is complete, firmly squeeze the roll while it is in the mat.
  6. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 6-8 pieces.
  7. Repeat with the remaining 1/2 of ingredients.

Recipe Notes

Make this into a full Japanese meal with a little miso soup, salad with ginger dressing.   Sake is optional.  Enjoy!
