To be honest, I love rolls very much, but I was always afraid to cook them myself, and even more so like Philadelphia) But in fact everything turned out to be much easier than it seems at first glance - now I am absolutely sure that everyone can cook from!

How to make Philadelphia rolls with salmon? Prepare the required ingredients for them. Take rice round, especially for rolls. Try to take cucumbers fresh, crisp, with a delicate skin. Salmon or other red fish - lightly salted or, if you're ready for it, raw.

For sushi, you need to boil rice correctly - any round rice will suit us. Wash it thoroughly, wiping the grains between your fingers, change the water 5 times - it should become transparent. This is a very important point!

Cover the washed rice with clean water and put on a high heat, bringing to a boil. The water-to-rice ratio here is 1: 1. 25.

After boiling, reduce the heat to a minimum and cook the rice on the lowest heat for 15 minutes, do not open the lid or stir.

Meanwhile, prepare the rice dressing: add salt and sugar to the rice vinegar and mix well.

The gas station is ready!

You can immediately peel and cut the cucumber into strips. If the cucumber has a delicate skin, you can leave it. The crisper the cucumber, the better.

Remove the rice from the heat and allow it to stand for a further 10 minutes under a closed lid.

Pour the rice over the prepared dressing and stir, ideally with a wooden spatula.

Let the rice cool a little and our perfect sushi rice is ready!

Cut the nori leaf into 2 halves. Wrap the roll mat with cling film or simply lay a clean bag on top.

Wet your hands in water and put the cooked rice in a thin layer on the rough side of the nori sheet.

Using a mat, gently turn the nori leaf down with rice.

Put soft cheese on the middle of the sheet, ideally, of course, Philadelphia cheese, but you can have a different, more budget creamy one.

Place the cucumber wedges over the cheese. If you wish, you can also add avocados.

Using a mat, carefully roll the roll.

Thinly cut the salmon and lay on a mat before rolling. This, I must tell you, turned out to be a rather difficult moment. For this, the fish must be of very good quality, it will be better if you salt it yourself - so you will know for sure what raw materials it is made of. And thinly slicing will be easier if the fish is slightly frozen.

Using the same mat, roll the roll so that it is covered with a layer of red fish. With a knife soaked in water, gently slice the Philadelphia roll into 6-8 pieces.

Serve the soy sauce rolls, sprinkling them on top with sesame seeds. Enjoy your meal!
