Method

  1. 1

    Cook and Season Rice

    Make the rice ahead of time: cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. While warm, gently fold in 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, and ¾ tsp salt until dissolved. Allow the rice to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Layer and Roll

    Dip 1 rice paper sheet briefly in warm water until just pliable, then lay it flat on a clean board. Place a sheet of nori on top, followed by an even layer of seasoned sushi rice.

  3. 3

    Layer with cucumber strips, avocado slices, tuna and salmon sashimi slices, and a touch of wasabi.

Ivana Sanshia’s note

Don't soak the rice paper for too long in water—a quick 5-second dip is enough as it will continue to soften as you assemble. Pan-toasting in sesame oil gives a fantastic nutty aroma while turning the delicate rice paper shell ultra-crispy.
