Ingredients

Scale

Sushi Ball Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice, cooked and seasoned
  • 100 grams smoked salmon, chopped (approximately ½ cup)
  • ½ cup cucumber, deseeded and finely diced
  • 100 grams cream cheese, cubed
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sushi Rice: Cook 2 cups of sushi rice according to package instructions and season it with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, gently mix the cooked sushi rice with chopped smoked salmon, diced cucumber, and cream cheese cubes to ensure even distribution without breaking the rice grains.
  3. Form the Sushi Balls: Using wet hands or a small mold, shape the mixture into bite-sized balls, compacting gently to hold their shape but remaining light and fluffy.
  4. Garnish: Lightly sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi balls for added texture and flavor.
  5. Serve: Arrange the sushi balls on a serving platter and serve immediately or chilled for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure sushi rice is well-seasoned with rice vinegar to achieve authentic flavor.
  • Use fresh smoked salmon and cream cheese for the best taste and texture.
  • Wet your hands before shaping to prevent rice from sticking.
  • Sushi balls are best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours if needed.
  • Optional: Add a small dab of wasabi or a drizzle of soy sauce when serving for extra flavor.
