Ingredients

Sushi Rice

  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 cup uncooked sushi rice
  • 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons less-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon wasabi paste

Salad

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seed, toasted*
  • 1 avocado, peeled and cut lengthwise into 16 slices
  • 1 package (3 oz) thinly sliced salmon lox
  • 4 teaspoons chopped pickled ginger slices (from 6-oz jar)

Steps

  • 1
    In 2-quart saucepan, heat 1 1/4 cups water and the rice to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until tender. Transfer to large bowl, tossing rice with chopsticks or 2 forks to cool slightly. Gradually add 1/4 cup vinegar to rice, tossing constantly. Cover bowl with damp towel; cool rice to room temperature.
  • 2
    In small bowl, mix dressing ingredients with wire whisk.
  • 3
    Dip hands into cold water; divide rice into 4 equal portions. Form each into oval-shaped patty about 3/4 inch thick. Roll edges in sesame seed. Place each patty on serving plate. Sprinkle top of each rice patty with 1 to 2 teaspoons dressing. Arrange 4 avocado slices over each. Top each with 1/4 of the sliced salmon and 1 teaspoon ginger slices. Serve immediately.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Look for sushi rice, wasabi paste and pickled ginger in the Asian section of the supermarket. This short-grained rice may be called pearl, glutinous or Japanese rice.
  • tip 2
    Give your salad an exotic look by substituting black sesame seed for the toasted sesame seed.
  • tip 3
    *To toast sesame seed, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
