Steps:
- Soak rice for 4 hours. Drain rice and cook in a rice cooker with 2 cups of water. Rice must be slightly dry as vinegar will be added later.
- Immediately after rice is cooked, mix in 6 tablespoons rice vinegar to the hot rice. Spread rice on a plate until completely cool.
- Place 1 sheet of seaweed on bamboo mat, press a thin layer of cool rice on the seaweed. Leave at least 1/2 inch top and bottom edge of the seaweed uncovered. This is for easier sealing later. Dot some wasabi on the rice. Arrange cucumber, avocado and smoked salmon to the rice. Position them about 1 inch away from the bottom edge of the seaweed.
- Slightly wet the top edge of the seaweed. Roll from bottom to the top edge with the help of the bamboo mat tightly. Cut roll into 8 equal pieces and serve. Repeat for other rolls.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, mix the chicken soup, mussel paste, tomato, milk and water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat.
- Combine the dry herbs, flour and cream. Add to the soup mixture and stir over low heat until hot, but not boiling.
- Remove from heat and add the sherry and sugar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve in bowls with slices of crusty bread.
Tips:
- Choose fresh mussels: Look for mussels with tightly closed shells and no cracks or damage. Discard any mussels that are open or have broken shells.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly: Rinse the mussels under cold water and remove any barnacles or debris from the shells. Use a soft brush to scrub away any dirt or grit.
- Smoke the mussels properly: Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and add a few wood chips for flavor. Place the mussels in a single layer on a wire rack and smoke for 30-45 minutes, or until the shells open.
- Make the filling: While the mussels are smoking, make the filling by combining cooked rice, vegetables, and herbs in a bowl. Season the filling to taste with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the rolls: Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and spoon some of the filling into the center. Fold the wrapper up around the filling to form a roll, making sure to seal the edges. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fry or bake the rolls: Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the rolls until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes.
Conclusion:
Smoked mussel rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a light lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
