Philadelphia Roll Sushi

Half sheet nori (dried seaweed)
4 ounces (about 1/2 cup) warm sushi rice (see note)
1/2 teaspoon dried bonito flakes
1 ounce smoked salmon
Cream cheese, to taste
Thin slices of Maui onion (after slicing, place in water for a couple of minutes)

Place nori on a bamboo sushi roller. Press rice onto 3/4 of the nori sheet. Flip nori over and arrange other ingredients evenly across the middle of the nori. Take a bamboo sushi roller and roll sushi together. Makes 1 roll.

To make rice: For 4 cups uncooked rice (recommend Tamaki Gold), make Sushi Su combining 1 cup rice vinegar, 3/4 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons salt, 1-inch piece dried konbu (dried kelp), 1/4 teaspoon hondashi and 2 teaspoons apple cider. Bring ingredients to a boil and turn off stove. Rice should be washed, strained, then refrigerated 30 minutes before cooking. After cooking, allow to sit in rice pot 15 minutes. Fold Sushi Su into warm rice.

Ready-made Sushi Su can be found in the Asian sections of supermarkets or Asian groceries.
