Cream Cheese Sushi Roll for 4 Rolls

Instructions:

1. Wash the rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
2. Cook rice according to package instructions. While still hot, fold in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt using a slicing motion with the paddle.
3. Spread the rice on a flat tray and let it reach room temperature until it is glossy and tacky.
4. Wrap your bamboo mat in plastic wrap to prevent sticking.
5. Place a nori sheet on the mat. Wet your hands, then spread a thin, even layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch (2.5cm) border of bare nori at the top edge.
6. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice, then flip the nori sheet over so the rice is face-down on the plastic for an inside-out roll.
7. Arrange a strip of cream cheese, smoked salmon, and sliced avocado across the center of the nori.
