Directions
-
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
-
Place the rice and water in a large heavy-based saucepan over high heat. Cover and bring to a boil.
-
Reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
-
Remove from heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
-
Stir the rice with a fork to separate the grains, then chill for 20 minutes.
-
Drizzle rice vinegar over the chilled rice and stir to combine evenly.
-
Place the drained salmon, mayonnaise, and wasabi in a bowl; mash until almost smooth.
-
Place a nori sheet shiny-side down on a bamboo mat, with the shortest edge facing you.
-
Using damp fingers, gently press a quarter of the rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 2cm strip at one end.
-
Using your finger, make an indent along the center of the rice layer.
-
Spread 2 tablespoons of the salmon mixture along the indent of the rice.
-
Top with a quarter each of the julienned cucumber and capsicum.
-
Roll up tightly, using the bamboo mat as a guide to seal the edge.
-
Cut the rolls in half to serve.
