Ingredients
Cream Cheese
8 ounces (Cut into 2 8-inch lengths from a 1/4-inch square piece.)
Smoked Salmon
3 ounces (Ready to use.)
English Cucumber
1 (Cut into 2 8-inch lengths of a 1/4-inch square piece.)
Nori Sheets
2 sheets (Ready to use.)

Toasted Sesame Seeds
To taste (For garnish.)
Instructions
1
Prepare all your ingredients by cutting the cream cheese and cucumber into 8-inch lengths.
2
Cook sushi rice according to package directions and allow it to cool. It's essential that the rice is sticky enough to form rolls.
3
Lay one sheet of nori on your bamboo rolling mat, shiny side facing down.
4
With wet hands, take approximately half of the sushi rice and evenly spread it over the nori, leaving the top inch and a half free of rice.
5
Lay the lengths of cream cheese, smoked salmon, and cucumber horizontally along the center of the rice.
6
Starting from the bottom edge, lift the mat and roll it away from you, tucking the ingredients tightly into the roll as you go. Press gently but firmly to keep the roll tight.
7
Continue rolling until you reach the bare section of nori. Wet the edge of the nori to help seal the roll.
8
Use the bamboo mat to shape and tighten the roll further if needed, then repeat the process with the second sheet of nori and remaining ingredients.
9
Once both rolls are complete, use a sharp knife (wet to prevent sticking) to slice each roll into eight equal pieces.
10
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately for optimal freshness and flavor.
