Prepare your sushi rice, you can use my stove-top sushi rice recipe or make instant pot sushi rice.
Prepare the fillings: Cut the cream cheese into 1cm cubes. Deseed the cucumber by slicing it in half and then scraping out the seeds with a spoon. You can then Slice the cucumber into long batons and then dice these into small pieces. Dice the smoked salmon.
Once the sushi rice has cooled, add it to a large mixing bowl along with the diced cucumber and salmon. Gently mix the until the fillings are evenly distributed through the rice.
Take a spoonful of the rice mixture, add a cube of the cream cheese and top with a second spoonful of the rice mixture. Shape into a ball with your hands.
Sprinkle the balls with the sesame seeds then chill them in the fridge until you are ready to serve them
