Directions:
01 - Combine the rice and water in a saucepan. Cover with a lid and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, for 12 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, covered, for 10 minutes to cool slightly ( See Notes Microwave Tip ).
02 - Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in a small jug. Place rice in a glass or ceramic bowl. Use a wooden spoon or rice paddle to break up any lumps. Gradually add the vinegar mixture and gently fold through the rice ( the rice shouldn't become too wet ). Continue folding and fanning the rice until it is cool ( this should take about 15 minutes ).
03 - Place a sushi mat on a clean work surface with slats running horizontally. Place a nori sheet, shiny-side down, on the mat, 2cm / 0.7in from the edge closest to you. Use wet hands to spread some rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 3cm / 1.1in wide border along the edge furthest from you.
04 - Combine the mayonnaise and wasabi in a bowl. Spread a little wasabi mixture along the centre of the rice. Top with 2 pieces of salmon and some avocado. Pick up the edge of the mat closest to you. Hold filling in place while rolling the mat over to enclose rice and filling in nori. Repeat with the remaining nori, rice and filling to make 5 more rolls.
05 - Combine the soy sauce and mirin in a small serving bowl. Cut sushi rolls into 2cm / 0.7in thick slices. Arrange on a platter and serve with mirin sauce.
Notes:
- Koshihikari is a variety of short-grain rice. Mirin is a Japanese rice wine.
They are available from supermarkets and Asian grocery stores.
- Microwave tip: Place rice and water in a heatproof, microwave-safe rice cooker or deep bowl. Cover with a lid or a double layer of plastic wrap. Cook on High/800watts/100% for 5 minutes. Cook for a further 7 minutes on Medium/500watts/50%. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool. prep: 40 mins (+10 mins cooling).
