Salmon and Mango Sushi Hand Roll
This delicious fresh salmon and mango sushi hand roll is a quick & easy way to get your sushi fix! Gather up all your ingredients and simply roll it together and serve it with some soy sauce.
Ingredients
- 12 nori sheets (half sized)
- 250 g sushi rice (uncooked) also called short-grain rice
- 330 ml fresh cold water
- 2 tbsp sushi vinegar
- 1 tsp white sugar
- pinch of salt
- 200 g sushi grade salmon (or 7 ounces)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce + more for serving (optional)
- 2 spring onions
- 1 mango
- 1 avocado
- ½ cucumber
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- First, cook the sushi rice. You can refer to packet instructions, or— rinse in cold water until it runs clear, add to a pan with fresh cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the temperature so it's simmering, place a lid on the pan and set a timer for 10 minutes. Once the 10 minutes is up, turn off the heat, but keep the lid on (to steam it) for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes of resting, add in the sushi vinegar, sugar, and salt and stir with a wooden spoon. Place the lid back on and set aside.
- Next, prepare the other ingredients. Slice the salmon into long strips, along with the mango, cucumber, and avocado. Thinly slice the spring onion and add to a bowl along with the soy sauce. Place the raw salmon in with the soy sauce to marinate.
- Now, assemble the hand roll. Lay the half nori sheet flat and add the sticky rice with your hands to one half, making it a "square of rice". Dip your hands in water to avoid rice sticking to you. Next, add your fillings— the salmon, mango, cucumber, and avocado. Then, take the bottom end corner of the "square of rice" and bring it towards the opposite corner. Keep rolling until the nori sheet is fully wrapped around. Use an extra bit of rice to help seal the last corner, if needed.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and dip into a side of soy sauce, enjoy!
Notes
The serving size really depends on how much you want to fill it— some people go heavier on the rice, others on the fillings. When using 250g (uncooked) sushi rice, it typically serves around 4 people, making about 12 hand rolls (3 rolls each). If you plan to have more than 3 each, adjust the serving size.
