Instructions
SUSHI RICE
- Prepare rice by combining rice and water in sauce pan.
- Bring to a full boil, then reduce to lowest simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, turn off heat, crack lid, and allow to cool to room temperature.
SUSHI RICE SEASONING
- While rice is cooking, prepare rice seasoning by combining ingredients in a sauce pan, bring to just below a boil, turn heat off and allow to sit and cool to room temp. Strain and discard kombu.
- When rice is at warm room temp and rice seasoning has cooled, combine them. I like to use a fork so I don't mash up the rice too much. Just drizzle the seasoning around and fluff the rice with a fork as you go.
SPICY MAYO
- Combine all spicy mayo ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine
- Place in fridge if not using right away
- If you want to be extra fancy, put some in a little squeeze bottle so you can feel like a real sushi chef!
SPICY SALMON FILLING
- Remove skin from fillet and discard or save for another use if you prefer.
- Slice the salmon into long strips and then slice those strips into small cubes. I prefer 1/4 inch or so, but you can make them larger or smaller depending on your preference.
- Place salmon in a mixing bowl, add remaining spicy salmon filling ingredients and stir to combine. Place in fridge if not using right away.
To assemble
- Lay a sheet of nori on your bamboo mat with the dull side facing up. spread a thin layer of rice on the surface, making sure to keep your finger tips moist so the rice doesn't stick.
- Next, place a small amount of filling in a thin strip from left to right on the side closest to you. Place a few strips of cucumber on top, sprinkle with sesame seeds or furikake seasoning and roll away from you, using the bamboo mat to help keep the roll nice and tight.

- Once it is rolled, place on a cutting board and slice into rounds. The ends might be a little messy, but they are just as delicious.
- Place your pieces of sushi onto serving plate or board, drizzle with LOTS of spicy mayo, garnish with tobiko, green onions, sesame seeds, furikake, and ENJOY!
