Philadelphia rolls with salmon at home

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make Philadelphia rolls with salmon? Prepare the required ingredients for them. Take the rice round, especially for rolls. Try to take cucumbers fresh, crispy, with a tender skin. Salmon or other red fish - lightly salted or, if you are ready for it, raw.

2. Step 2:

   

   For sushi, you need to boil rice properly - any round rice will suit us. Rinse it thoroughly, rubbing the grains between your fingers, change the water 5 times - it should become transparent. This is a very important point!

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour the washed rice with clean water and put it on high heat, bringing it to a boil. The ratio of water and rice here is 1:1.25.

4. Step 4:

   

   After boiling, reduce the heat to a minimum and cook the rice on the lowest heat for 15 minutes, do not open the lid and do not stir.

5. Step 5:

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the rice dressing: add salt and sugar to the rice vinegar and mix well.

6. Step 6:

   

   The dressing is ready!

7. Step 7:

   

   You can immediately peel and cut the cucumber into strips. If the cucumber has a tender skin, you can leave it. The crisper the cucumber, the better.

8. Step 8:

   

   Remove the rice from the heat and let it stand for another 10 minutes under a closed lid.

9. Step 9:

   

   Pour the prepared dressing over the rice and mix, ideally with a wooden spatula.

10. Step 10:

    

    Let the rice cool down a bit and our perfect sushi rice is ready!

12. Step 11:

    

    Cut the nori leaf into 2 halves. Wrap the mat for folding rolls with cling film or just lay a clean bag on top.

13. Step 12:

    

    Moisten your hands in water and lay the boiled rice in a thin layer on the rough side of the nori leaf.

14. Step 13:

    

    Using a mat, gently turn the nori leaf upside down.

15. Step 14:

    

    Put soft cheese in the middle of the sheet, ideally, of course, Philadelphia cheese, but you can have another, more budget cream cheese.

16. Step 15:

    

    Put cucumber slices on top of the cheese. If desired, you can also add avocado.

17. Step 16:

    

    Using a mat, gently roll up the roll.

18. Step 17:

    

    Slice the salmon thinly and lay it on the mat before the roll. This, I must tell you, turned out to be quite a difficult moment. To do this, the fish must be of very good quality, it would be better if you salt it yourself - so you will know exactly what raw materials it is made of. And thinly slicing will be easier if the fish is slightly frozen.

19. Step 18:

    

    Using the same mat, roll up the roll so that it is covered with a layer of red fish. With a knife dipped in water, carefully cut the Philadelphia roll into 6-8 pieces.

20. Step 19:

    

    Serve the rolls with soy sauce, sprinkling sesame seeds on top. Bon appetit!
