Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Sushi rice (calrose or any short grain variety)
Water
1 cup Rice wine vinegar

½ cup Sugar
8 Sheets nori
¼ cup Pickled ginger; julienned
1 cup Cucumber strips

Directions

GARNISH

Wash rice at least three times or until water is clear. Fill rice cooker or casserole with water to about 1-inch over the rice. Over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium high heat and boil vigorously for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook a further 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, still covered, for another 20 minutes. In a small saucepan, slowly heat the vinegar, mirin and sugar until very hot but not boiling.

Fold in "su" (vinegar and sugar) with the hot rice. Place rice carefully in a clean bowl, cover, and let rest for 30 minutes. On a sushi mat, place a sheet of nori. Lightly pat rice on bottom two thirds of nori. Place pickled ginger, cucumber strips and salmon strips on top of rice. Finish with a few drops of wasabi oil. Roll up sushi tightly, moistening the edges to seal and let rest.

Cut sushi and arrange on a platter. Serve with wasabi oil and soy syrup.
