With their beautiful presentation and tasty taste, these Cocktail Party Sushi Bites are great for having people over. They are made with smoked salmon, avocado, and cucumber that are wrapped in seasoned sushi rice and nori.
Ingredients: 200g sushi rice. 250ml water. 3 tablespoons rice vinegar. 1 tablespoon sugar. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 100g smoked salmon. 1 avocado. 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce. 1 cucumber. 4 nori sheets. Sesame seeds, for garnish. Soy sauce, for serving. Pickled ginger, for serving. Wasabi, for serving.
Instructions: Rinse the sushi rice in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Microwave for 30 seconds to dissolve sugar completely. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature. In a separate bowl, mash the avocado with mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce. Thinly slice the cucumber. Cut the smoked salmon into thin strips. Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border along the edges. Spread a layer of avocado mixture over the rice, then add cucumber slices and smoked salmon strips. Carefully roll up the sushi using the bamboo mat, sealing the edge with a bit of water. Repeat with the remaining nori, rice, and fillings. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi bites for garnish. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
