Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (uncooked) Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
- 2 tablespoons (optional) Pickled ginger
- 1 teaspoon (optional) Wasabi
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold running water in a sieve until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
While the rice cooks, prepare the seasoning. In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
While the rice is cooling, prep your fillings. Peel and cut the cucumber, carrot, avocado, and red bell pepper into thin slices or matchsticks.
Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat (or a clean kitchen towel). Spread a thin, even layer of cooled rice across the nori, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space at the top edge.
Place a few slices of cucumber, carrot, avocado, and red bell pepper horizontally across the center of the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori tightly away from you, pressing gently but firmly to create a compact roll. Seal the edge with a small dab of water to help the nori stick. Repeat with the remaining sheets and fillings.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
Serve immediately with soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari), pickled ginger, and a small dollop of wasabi, if desired. Enjoy your homemade dairy-free vegetarian sushi rolls!
