Procedure

First of all, look carefully at the process in the VIDEO RECIPE. Peel the avocado and make it striped, then cut the salmon into strips. Arrange the sheet of alga on top of the appropriate sushi mat (are fine even those from breakfast made with strips of wood, as long as they are flexible and you can roll up) with the shiny side facing down.

With moistened fingers pay a fifth of sushi rice on the alga, distributing it evenly over the surface and leaving a free space of a centimeter on one long side. Spread on the central part of the seaweed a little wasabi and arrange the salmon, avocado and cucumber (If you like).

Slightly moisten the part of the alga remained uncovered and roll the alga on itself tight, using the mat for sushi. Cut the roll of sushi in so many rolls of about 2,5 cm thick and serve with soy sauce and more wasabi. If you like, in some supermarkets is also pickled ginger.
