This sushi roll in a lunch box is easy to pack and tastes great. It's also full of healthy nutrients. For making meals ahead of time or lunches to go, this is great.

Ingredients: 2 cups sushi rice. 2 1/2 cups water. 1/4 cup rice vinegar. 2 tablespoons sugar. 1 teaspoon salt. 4 nori seaweed sheets. 4 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced. 1 cucumber, julienned. 1 avocado, sliced.

Instructions: Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to manufacturer's instructions. In a small saucepan, heat rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until sugar dissolves. Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange slices of smoked salmon, cucumber, and avocado evenly over the rice. Starting from the bottom, roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat. Moisten the top border of the nori with water to seal the roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi, if desired.

       Well, ENCOR or Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR 350-401) exam is a big deal because of the following reasons.

ENCOR exam consists of topics from six domains of knowledge, i.e. Architecture, Virtualization, Automation, Infrastructure, Network Assurance and Security. It is slated to go into effect starting February 24 2020.

ENCOR serves triple purpose as CCNP Core, and CCIE Infrastructure Lab and CCIE Wireless Lab qualification exam. CCIE recertification requirements are now different from the initial qualification.

It is the mandatory Core exam for CCNP Enterprise track. You will become CCNP Enterprise certified when you pass one of the professional Concentration exams (such as ENARSI) in addition to ENCOR.

It obsoletes old CCNP R&S exams (300-101 and 300-115), and CCIE written exams for both R&S (400-101) and Wireless (400-351) tracks.

It is a 120-minute exam that costs $400 (USD) per attempt, which is $100 more compared to 300-series CCNP exams today, but significantly cheaper than $450 per attempt for 400 series qualification or “written exams”.

Each successful attempt at ENCOR will recertify your CCNP for three years, which is same as today. However, CCNP Recertification exam cost will change from $300 (passing one exam) to either passing one core exam ($400) or passing two exams ($700), i.e. you may pay up to x2 more in new versus old format. There are other possible exam combinations for recertification including Continuing Education (CE) credits.

Each successful attempt at ENCOR plus any one Professional concentration exam such as ENARSI will recertify your CCIE Enterprise for a period of three years. However, recertification exam cost will change from $450 (one exam) to $700 (2 exams i.e. 1 core and 1 concentration exam such as ENARSI) or $900 (3 concentration exams), i.e. up to x2 more in new versus old format. Again, there are other possible exam combinations for recertification including Continuing Education (CE) credits.
