Roll into cream cheese dreams with the Philadelphia Roll. This fusion delight pairs the creamy lushness of Philadelphia cheese with the classic duo of salmon and cucumber, all hugged by nori and sushi rice. A spin-off incorporating unthinkable smoothness with a snapshot of Philadelphia’s finest, it’s like your favorite bagel went to sushi school. A hoagie homage in roll form.
Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions.
Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until dissolved, then mix it into the warm rice. Allow to cool.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a nori sheet shiny side down.
Wet your fingers with water and spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a half-inch border at the top.
Place thin slices of salmon, strips of cream cheese, and cucumber across the center of the rice.
Grab the mat's edge, hold the filling with your fingers, and start rolling the sushi away from you. Apply gentle pressure to keep everything together.
Finish rolling the sushi into a log, sealing with the borders of the nori.
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6 segments.
Serve the Philadelphia roll with soy sauce and a small amount of wasabi.
