Method

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water 3–4 times, then soak in water at a 1:1.5 ratio, add a pinch of salt, and simmer covered on low heat for 15 minutes until tender. Let it cool completely.

  2. Slice the cucumber4 into thin2 matchsticks and cut the lightly1 salted salmon into thin strips.

  3. Lay the lavash flat on a surface and spread cream3 cheese evenly, leaving a 2 cm border.

  4. Spread a thin2 layer of rice over the cheese, then place the cucumber4 and salmon strips along the near edge.

  5. Roll the lavash tightly into a log, pressing firmly with your palm to keep the filling secure.

  6. Slice the roll into 6 even pieces with a sharp knife, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with soy sauce.

Tips

Why it works
Cool the rice completely. Warm rice melts the cream cheese, and the lavash turns soggy and tears when you roll it.
Substitutions
Swap the lightly salted salmon for lightly salted trout in the same amount. Swap the round-grain rice for any sushi rice, and the cream cheese for a soft creamy cheese.
Common mistakes
Too much filling and a loose roll make the roll tear and fall apart when cut. If the lavash cracks at the edge, it has dried out, so sprinkle it lightly with water.
Storing and reheating
Best eaten within 2–3 hours. It keeps in the fridge for up to 1 day wrapped in film, but the lavash gets soggy. Don't reheat or freeze.
Serve with
Serve for dinner, cut into 6 pieces, with soy sauce, ginger and green tea.
