SOY AND WASABI DIPPING SAUCE

Method
- Drain the salmon and flake it into a bowl with a fork, picking out any large pieces of skin and bones

- Stir in 1 teaspoon of the mustard and the soy sauce
- Add more mustard if you want a spicier flavor
- For each Salmon Salad roll, spread the rice on the nori as described on page 336
- Lay the lettuce leaves in a line across the rice, about 1 inch up from the edge of the nori that is closest to you
- Top the lettuce with one-sixth of the salmon salad, nudging it into a line
- Roll up carefully
- Moisten a sharp knife with water and cut the roll in half
- Cut each half in thirds, for 6 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp towel between cuts
- Make the dipping sauce
- Place the wasabi in a small bowl or tea cup
- Stir in the hot water to make a mound of thick paste
- Let rest 5 minutes to develop the flavor
