Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g (2 cups) sushi rice
- 300 g (10 oz) fresh sushi-grade salmon
- 2 tablespoons spicy mayo
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 cucumber
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Rinse 250 g (2 cups) of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Fill your rice cooker with the rinsed rice and add 400 ml (1¾ cups) water. Cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 20 minutes.
- While the rice cooks, cut 300 g (10 oz) of sushi-grade salmon into small cubes. In a bowl, mix the salmon with 2 tablespoons spicy mayo, letting it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Slice 1 ripe avocado and 1 cucumber into thin strips.
- Once the rice is ready, let it cool slightly. Place a sheet of nori shiny side down on the bamboo mat. Wet your hands, then spread a thin layer (about 200 g or 1½ cups) of sushi rice over the nori.
- Add a line of marinated salmon, avocado, and cucumber along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori.
- Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the sushi tightly away from you, applying gentle pressure. Moisten the exposed edge of the nori with water to seal.
- Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to cover the rolls. Once hot (about 180°C or 350°F), carefully place your rolls in the oil. Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the rolls and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Once slightly cooled, slice each roll into 6 pieces. Serve immediately with soy sauce for dipping.
Notes
Overfilling the rolls can lead to a messy outcome. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge, best enjoyed fresh.
