Instructions:

For the Quick Pickles

  1.  Start by making your pickle brine. In a pot, combine your vinegar, sugar, salt, and ginger and heat until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
  2. Remove the pot from the heat and immediately add the ice, mix until it is melted.
  3. Place your matchstick cucumbers, carrots, and radishes in their own containers, and cover them with the pickle brine.
  4. Let it sit in the fridge for a minimum of 15 minutes.

For the Siracha Mayo

  1. Mix all the ingredients until it is at your desired spice level.

For the Sushi Rice

  1. Cook your rice as per the instructions on the package. All rice is different, and so are the instructions!
  2.  Once the rice is done cooking, add the rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt

Assembly

  1. Make sure the surface you are going to lay the Nori sheet on is completely dry.
  2. Using two nori sheets, place one straight, and one diagonal, so it looks like a square sitting on top of a diamond. This will help later when rolling the burrito.
  3. Spread a quarter of your cooked rice along the Nori. Be sure to avoid the points of the diamond, but cover the entirety of the square.
  4. Add the avocado near the bottom edge of the rice in a line.
  5. On top of the avocado, add your salmon, pickles, and sriracha mayo.
  6. To roll the burrito, gently start from the bottom, making sure the filling stays in the center. As soon as you are at the halfway point, fold the tips of the diamond Nori in, as if you were rolling a burrito with a tortilla.
  7. Finish the roll and let it sit for a moment on the seams. The Nori will stick to itself and stay closed.
  8. Eat whole, or slice in half, and Enjoy!
