Instructions
Rinse the rice several times until water runs clear.
Add cool water to a pot.
Add in rinsed rice.
Bring to a very light simmer over medium heat.
Cover and cook on medium low heat for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, reduce the heat to low and cook for another 10 minutes. Do not remove lid.
Remove from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes. Do not remove the lid.
Prepare Seasoned Vinegar
Add rice vinegar, sugar and kosher salt to a saucepan.
Heat on medium until sugar and salt has dissolved.
Remove from heat & set aside.
Fillings
Peel, seed and slice cucumber into thin slices. Set Aside.
Pour the rice into a glass dish and pour in the seasoned vinegar.
Stir to combine and fan the rice to cool it down.
Cover a bamboo mat with saran wrap.
Place a nori sheet on top.
Prepare a small bowl with some water and rice vinegar to keep your fingers moist while spreading the rice if needed.
Use a wooden spoon or your fingers to place the rice on top of the nori sheet. Smooth it out to make a thin layer of rice.
Lay on 3-4 strips of cucumber about 2 inches from the edge, followed by thin strips of salmon cream cheese.
Add wasabi sauce and drizzle on some soy sauce.
Roll it up tightly. The bamboo mat will make rolling easier.
Seal the edges with a little rice vinegar water if needed.
Let the finished rolls sit for about 10-15 minutes.
Slice the rolls with a serrated knife.
Serve with various sauces and enjoy.
