There’s something about making sushi rolls that I find relaxing. It’s not something to be rushed, so you will have to expect that it takes patience and time in preparation. I also like how I get to eat the rolls I mess up when I’m making them. I try my best to avoid eating white rice, so I substituted with short grain brown rice instead. The only raw item in this dish is the red pepper.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp - Sriracha Hot Sauce
1 Tbsp – Mayonnaise
2 Cups - Short Grain Brown Rice
2 Cups – Water
1 Cooked Salmon Filet cut into strips, about 6oz
2 Tbsp - Sushi Rice Vinegar
Nori Seaweed
1 Red Pepper cut into strips
Bowl of water w/ rice vinegar, about 4 parts of water to 1 part vinegar

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Add the rice and the water into the rice cooker. After the rice is cooked, keep the lid on and let stand for 15 minutes. Transfer the rice to a large non-metal bowl and add the vinegar. Using a spatula, fold the rice until all of the grains are covered with the vinegar. Cover with a damp paper towel or cloth towel and let stand until the rice cools to room temperature.

Combine the hot sauce and the mayonnaise together until the sauces are well mixed and set aside. Thanks to Ki for telling me the sauce recipe!

Place the seaweed on the roller. Then dip your hands in the bowl of water so it makes it easy to handle the rice. Spread the rice out like so:

Brush the hot sauce over the rice and place the salmon and red pepper down the middle of the rice length-wise. Roll tightly, using your free fingers to keep the fillings from falling out of place.

Wet your knife with water, and cut evenly. Make sure the knife is sharp or you will not be able to produce clean edges and tear the seaweed!

Take a butter knife and dab a bit of the hot sauce on the top of the rolls. Serve with wasabi and soy sauce. I made about 30 rolls.

Cost <$6.00

I also made some with smoked salmon, avocado, and cucumber. The smoked salmon is going to run about $8.00.

As always, please make sure your food is throughly cooked before consumption.
