Smoke Salmon Philly Roll Sushi

Smoke Salmon Philly Roll Sushi

The Philadelphia roll is the most caloric sushi roll in the world. It contains 320 calories per piece and contains a large amount of cream cheese. For a lighter version, try substituting non-fat cream cheese. A good-quality smoked salmon will be bright and not smell like fish. The fish should be cut into strips or thin slices. The best quality smoked salmon will not give you fishy breath.

Equipment

rolling mat

Plastic wrap

sharp

non-serrated knife

Ingredients

2 strips cream cheese 8xM inches (cut from the block)
3 ounces salmon smoked
2-4 narrow strips cucumber
2 nori sheets
1 cup sushi rice

Instructions

Prepare the nori sheet

Line the rolling mat with a sheet of plastic wrap (this will help in shaping and storing the roll). Place one full sheet of sushi nori on the lined sushi rolling mat, shiny side down.

Spread with sushi rice

Cover the nori sheet with prepared sushi rice, leaving the last inch and a half (away from you) bare. Use plastic gloves or moisten your hands with a solution of water and a little vinegar called tezu to prevent the rice from sticking (recipe below).
NOTE: To make an inside-out roll, cover the rice layer with a sheet of plastic wrap. Lifting with the bottom plastic wrap, turn over the nori onto the bamboo rolling mat. Remove top plastic wrap.

Place the filling

Place ingredients for the filling crosswise over the rice-covered nori.

Roll

Fold the mat over, to roll the sushi. Apply firm pressure while rolling to make a tight roll.

Tighten the roll

Moisten the flap of uncovered nori and roll over it to seal. Repeat rolling to tighten the roll, if necessary. Be careful not to roll the plastic wrap into the sushi.

Slice the roll

Use a sharp, non-serrated knife and run cold water over the blade to keep the nori and rice from sticking. Do not use a sawing motion as this would tear the nori. To get even slices, begin slicing at the center of the roll then proceed to cut each piece at the center as well. Cut into 8 small pieces or 6larger pieces.
