Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Sushi rice
- 300 milliliters Water
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Prawns, cooked and peeled
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 1 half Cucumber, julienned
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 50 grams Pickled ginger
- 4 teaspoons Wasabi
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 300 ml of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
Remove the rice from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 more minutes.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice; let the rice cool to room temperature.
Cut cooked prawns into halves lengthwise. Set aside.
Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Using wet hands, spread a quarter of the rice over the nori, leaving 1 cm border at the top.
Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the rice. Turn the nori over so the rice side is down.
Lay sliced avocado, julienned cucumber, and prawn halves across the center of the nori sheet.
Roll the sushi tightly using the mat, applying even pressure. Seal the edge with a little water.
Slice each roll into 8 pieces using a sharp, damp knife.
Repeat with the remaining rice, nori sheets, and fillings.
Serve the sushi with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
