- Rinse rice well at least a half dozen times.
- I use a rice cooker for cooking the sushi rice. Add rice to rice cooker and fill the rice cooker to the 2 cup mark with cold water, and cook until done. If you do not have a rice cooker, cook as per directions on rice bag.
- Meanwhile, Mix rice wine vinegar, sugar and salt, together in bowl and microwave until sugar and salt are dissolved.
- When rice is cooked, place in Oke or large glass bowl. Mix lightly with rice wine vinegar mixture.
- Fan rice until completely cooled, I put mine under a ceiling fan to cool.
- Wrap bamboo rolling mat with plastic wrap.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and poppy seeds over plastic wrap.
- Spread rice over plastic wrap, place nori sheet on top of rice.
- Lay smoked salmon on top of nori, add shrimp, avocado, cucumber, carrots and proceed with rolling.
- Slice the rolls into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Serve with soy sauce, ginger and wasabi.
