Sushi salmon rolls

If you fancy learning how to make sushi, start simply with these easy salmon rolls. Customise them as you prefer.

Ingredients:

  • 1 packet nori squares (the kind used to wrap sushi); available from some supermarkets and asian markets
  • 400g/14oz short-grain sushi rice, cooked according to packet instructions, cooled
  • wasabi paste
  • 450g/1lb top quality, very fresh salmon fillet
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced into strips
  • 1 bunch spring onions, finely chopped
  • soy sauce

Directions:

  1. Place each square of nori flat onto a sushi rolling mat. (Sushi rolling mats are available from Asian supermarkets and larger supermarkets.)
  2. Place a layer of cooled sushi rice onto the seaweed wrap and gently press flat. (NB: don't add too much rice or you will end up with very fat sushi rolls.)
  3. Place a dab of wasabi paste along the rice, according to taste. Wasabi is quite strong, so be sparing!
  4. Place a thin slice of salmon onto the rice.
  5. Spread the strips of cucumber onto the salmon and add a sprinkling of spring onion.
  6. Carefully roll the sushi up into a sausage shape and slice it into 3cm/1in long pieces, trimming the ends.
  7. Serve with bowls of soy sauce and extra wasabi.
