Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 large Fresh orange
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 0.25 cup Pickled ginger
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker or a medium saucepan. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, for approximately 20 minutes until water is absorbed.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold the mixture into the cooked rice while it is still warm. Set aside to cool.
Peel and slice the cucumber into thin strips. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice thinly. Peel and julienne the carrot.
Peel the orange and remove as much of the white pith as possible without damaging the segments. Cut the orange segments into thin slices.
Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread half of the sushi rice gently over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Arrange half of the cucumber, avocado, and carrot along the edge of the rice closest to you.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight log.
Seal the roll by dampening the edge of the nori with a little water and pressing to close. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients for the second roll.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 even pieces.
Top each sushi piece with a slice of fresh orange.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
