Smoked salmon and jicama maki sushi rolls

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 cups Sushi rice; (Calrose/short grain)
Water
1 cup Rice wine vinegar
¼ cup Mirin
½ cup Sugar
8 Nori sheets
1 cup Smoked salmon strips
1 cup Jicama strips
1 cup Diakon sprouts
¼ cup Gari; (pickled ginger) julienned
Wasabi Oil; see * Note
Soy Syrup; see * Note

Directions

* Note: See the "Wasabi Oil" and "Soy Syrup" recipes which are included in this collection.

Wash rice at least 3 times or until water is clear. Fill rice cooker or casserole with water to about 1-inch over rice. I highly recommend a rice cooker -- more than 2 billion people use them in Asia for a reason. Slowly heat vinegar, mirin and sugar until very hot but not boiling. Fold in with the hot rice, add enough so that the rice has a tart/sweet taste. Rice should be shiny, not mushy. Carefully put rice in a clean bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes. Lay down nori on sushi mat and lightly pat on rice on bottom ⅔ of nori. Place smoked salmon, jicama, daikon, gari and a touch of Wasabi Oil. Roll, moisten end and let rest.

There will be left over rice for other recipes. This recipe yields 4 servings.
