Ingredients

1 1/4 cups water
1 cup uncooked sushi rice
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons less-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon wasabi paste
2 tablespoons sesame seed, toasted*
1 avocado, peeled and cut lengthwise into 16 slices
1 package (3 oz) thinly sliced salmon lox
4 teaspoons chopped pickled ginger slices (from 6-oz jar)

Steps:

In 2-quart saucepan, heat 1 1/4 cups water and the rice to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until tender. Transfer to large bowl, tossing rice with chopsticks or 2 forks to cool slightly. Gradually add 1/4 cup vinegar to rice, tossing constantly. Cover bowl with damp towel; cool rice to room temperature.
In small bowl, mix dressing ingredients with wire whisk.
Dip hands into cold water; divide rice into 4 equal portions. Form each into oval-shaped patty about 3/4 inch thick. Roll edges in sesame seed. Place each patty on serving plate. Sprinkle top of each rice patty with 1 to 2 teaspoons dressing. Arrange 4 avocado slices over each. Top each with 1/4 of the sliced salmon and 1 teaspoon ginger slices. Serve immediately.
