Method :
-
Rinse the rice thoroughly in cold water,
until the water runs clear, then place in a pan with 300ml / ½ pint of
water. Bring to the boil and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce to
a simmer and cook gently for 10 minutes. Turn the heat off, but keep
the pan covered, to allow the rice to steam for a further 10 minutes.
-
In a small saucepan gently heat the rice
vinegar, sugar and salt until the sugar has dissolved. When the rice
has finished steaming, pour over the vinegar mixture and stir well to
mix. Empty the rice out onto a large flat surface – a chopping board or
large plate is ideal. Fan the rice to cool and to produce a shinier
rice.
-
Lay one sheet of sushi nori on a sushi
mat. If you do not have a sushi mat, improvise with a stiff piece of
fabric that is a little larger than the sushi nori. Spread with half
the cooled rice dampen your hands while doing this, as it helps to
prevent the rice from sticking to your hands. On the nearest edge place
half the salmon and half the cucumber strips.
-
Roll up the rice and smoked salmon into a
tight Swiss roll-like shape. Dampen the blade of a sharp knife
and cut the sushi into slices about 2cm / ¾ inch thick. Repeat with
the remaining sushi nori, rice, smoked salmon and cucumber. Serve with
wasabi, soy sauce and pickled ginger.
