- Yields:
-
4 rolls
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon rice wine
- 4 nori
- 1⁄2 avocado, cut into thin slices
- 12 asparagus spears, thin, blanched, cooled
- 1⁄4 lb salmon, cured (gravlax)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
directions
- Cook rice according to package instructions. While the rice is still hot, sprinkle with vinegar and rice wine. Toss to mix and cool completely.
- Hold the nori over a low flame and gently heat it until the sheet turns bright green. Place the nori on a sushi mat, shiny side down, and pat 1/2 cup rice with moist hands onto the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border on the opposite edge.
- Line slices of avocado and either asparagus spears or salmon strips across the center to fill the width of the roll. Pick up the edge of the mat closest to you, and tightly roll (jelly-roll style), pressing to keep compact.
- Dampen the border to seal and let set for 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

I'm 100% health freak. I don't cook often, but I love to cook non-healthy meals for my family and eat my own versions of the same using low calorie ingredients (because my family cringes at the thought of not using loads of butter in EVERYTHING).
I waste a ridiculous amount of time on recipezaar saving recipes that I hope to eventually make some day (right now, I have over 2,600 recipes in my main cookbook) but, because I'm a poor college student living in a dorm, I'm restricted to microwave cooking-only. Joy. - _ -
I'm studying at a small private university in southern Illinois, where I'm majoring in History and English Literature. My dream job would be that of a local historian, with a focus on Mississippi River culture, but I see myself pursuing a job as an archivist or something related to historic preservation. I've also considered being a professor, but all of this is very new to me because, until my second month of college, the plan since I was 14 was to become a politician at the state level, but now I've decided to follow what makes me happy, rather than what I thought would make me satisfied, (there's a big difference).
