<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Two ½ cups koshihikari rice</li>
<li>Thee ¾ cups cold water</li>
<li>½ cup rice vinegar</li>
<li>Two tablespoons caster sugar</li>
<li>½ teaspoon salt</li>

</ul>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Method:</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Prepare ingredients for your sushi by cutting your salmon into batons that are roughly 1cm thick and halving, stoning, peeling then thinly slicing your avocado. Place rice is a sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.</li>
<li>Place rice and water in a large saucepan (covered) over high heat and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 12 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove the rice from the heat then set aside (covered) for about 10 minutes so the rice can cool slightly.</li>
<li>Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in a small ball and transfer rice to large glass bowl.</li>
<li>Using a wooden paddle break up rice lumps with gradually adding vinegar mixture.</li>
<li>Gently fold to combine and continue folding and fanning for 15 minutes until rice is cool.</li>
<li>Place a nori sheet, shiny-side down, on the mat. Use wet hands to spread one-sixth of the rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 3cm-wide border along the edge furthest away from you.</li>
<li>Place salmon and avocado along the centre of the rice. Hold filling in place while rolling the mat over to enclose rice and filling. Repeat with remaining nori, rice, salmon and avocado.</li>
<li>Use a sharp knife to slice sushi widthways into slice roughly 1.5cm thick.</li>
<li>Place on serving dishes with soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger, if desired.</li>
