Philly Rolls

I found a great website for any of you who like to make sushi. The following is their recipe for a Philly Roll, which is exactly how I make my Philly rolls.

2 8" lengths of 1/4" square cream cheese
3 ounces smoked salmon
2 8" lengths of 1/4" square cucumber
2 toasted Nori (sushi grade seaweed) sheets
1 cup Sushi rice

Cook rice according to directions. Dip hands in water to keep it from sticking to you.

Place one full sheet of sushi nori on your bamboo mat, shiny side down. Cover the nori sheet with your prepared sushi rice, leaving an inch and a half of nori bare lengthwise away from you. Place your toppings lengthwise at center of your rice. Fold your bamboo mat over, and with even pressure, tighten your roll by pressing and pulling on your mat. Finish your rolling by rolling your tightened roll over the last flap of nori. Repeat the tightening process if necessary. Slice your Philadelphia Roll into eight pieces. Serve with ginger, wasabi & soy sauce.
