• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 5 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
• 1 Avocado(Optional: sliced thinly)
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into 10 slices lengthwise

2. In a pot over medium heat, add rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring it to a boil. Next, drop the heat to low and continue cooking for 20 minutes with a lid.
3. Prepare a simple dressing while the rice cooks. Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar is melted. Turn the heat off and let it cool.
4. When the rice is cooked, remove from heat and mix in a bit of the vinegar solution. Cool the rice to at least room temperature (30 minutes).
5. Lay your nori sheets out on the clean worksurface. Add the cooled rice to each of your sheets and spread evenly. Spread and flatten the rice to the edges using a rice paddle. Turn the sheets so that it is placed with rice side down.
6. Add 2-3 slices of avocado to the middle, topped with 1.5 strips or so of cream cheese (don't go overboard), a tablespoonish amount od panko, and one cucumber slice there as well on each sheet. Lay the sheets flat out and roll each one tightly around your fillings.
7. Top each roll with salmon slices, a layer of masago and drizzle with hoisin sauce and Sriracha mayonnaise. Sprinkle black & white sesame seeds. Slice each roll into 8-piece.
