Cup of Yum
Prepare sushi
- Place your nori seaweed on your Sushi mat. Use a sushi mat wrapped in plastic so that the sushi won't stick.
- Spread almost all of your cooked (keep about 2-3 Tablespoons aside) rice all over your nori seaweed. The rice has to cover the seaweed completely and it needs to be an even layer. Stick it n the nori with your fingers.
- Turn the rice covered seaweed and spread the 2-3 Tablespoons of rice over one half of your seaweed, but keep about 1 inch or 2-centimeter distance from the bottom end of your seaweed. Spread it out to an even layer.
- Spread cream cheese in one line in the center of the rice.
- Place cucumber over the cream cheese and arrange 3 avocado slices on that in one line.
- Take the seaweed with the toppings to the border of your plastic-wrapped mat, hold with both hands and start to roll in your sushi.
- Continue to roll in your sushi and press down with both hands to create a tight wrap. Roll until you have a tight sushi roll
- Arrange salmon slices over the sushi roll to create a topping.
- Press down with another sushi mat to mold the roll and so that the salmon sticks on the sushi.
- Take the sushi from the bamboo mat and cut into 1 inch or 2 centimeter thick slices or so that you are left with 8 thick slices.
- Arrange the philadelphia roll on a serving plate and serve with soya wasabi dipping options and some pickled sliced ginger.
Notes
- Wrap your sushi mat into a clean wrap.
- Use cooked sushi rice only and please follow my recipe to make sushi rice.
- Use fresh raw sashimi-grade salmon filet. If you don't want raw fish, use a smoked cured salmon instead.
- Nori is seaweed. Use unflavored plain maki sushi nori seaweed sheets to make this recipe.
- It's important to roll in the sushi slowly and as tight as possible. Take your time and press carefully down with both hands while rolling in.
