Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams sushi rice
- 400 ml water
- 50 ml rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 4 sheets nori seaweed sheets
- 50 grams low sodium fish roe
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 50 grams pickled ginger
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
Place the rinsed rice and water into a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
While the rice is cooking, mix the rice vinegar and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. While it's still hot, gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a wooden spatula. Be careful not to mash the rice.
Allow the rice to cool to a slightly warm temperature. It should remain sticky.
Peel and cut the cucumber and avocado into thin strips.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and top it with a piece of plastic wrap. Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat.
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, take a handful of sushi rice, and spread it evenly over two-thirds of the nori sheet, leaving a border at the top.
Spread a thin line of wasabi horizontally across the rice to your taste.
Place strips of cucumber and avocado along the wasabi line, and add a few spoonfuls of low sodium fish roe.
Begin rolling the mat tightly away from you, pressing gently and securely to form a roll. Moisturize the free top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into six or eight bite-sized pieces.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.
Serve with low sodium soy sauce, pickled ginger, and extra wasabi if desired.
