Smoked Salmon & Asparagus Sushi Rolls  

(Maki-Zushi)

-6 Nori sheets
-2.5 C. sushi rice, cooked.
-2.5 C. cold water
-4 Tbs. rice vinegar
-3 Tbs. superfine sugar
-2 tsp salt
-Smoked salmon
-Asparagus
-Wasabi paste
-Pickled ginger, soy sauce for serving, if desired

Prep: After rice is cooked, let stand 10 minutes. Then combine rice
vinegar, sugar, and salt in small bowl until sugar dissolves. Drizzle
over rice. Mix together gently to coat the rice, then set aside until
room temperature. Toast each Nori sheet very lightly by passing back
and forth over a stove-top hot plate (do not let it burn).

1) Top each nori sheet with cooked sushi rice.
2) Cut 6 oz (180g) of smoked salmon into thin strips.
3) Lightly steam 12 trimmed asparagus spears, then refresh them in cold water.
4) Smear a small amount of wasabi in a horizontal line across the
middle of each rice-topped nori sheet and arrange equal amounts of
salmon and asparagus on top.
5) Roll the sushi up and cut into 1½-inch rounds to serve. Note: If
you do not have a bamboo mat, the best option is a clean dish towel
for rolling.
