Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sushi rice
- 2.5 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 5 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
- 10 pieces Cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 small Cucumber (julienned)
- 1 medium Carrot (julienned)
- 1 medium Avocado (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Wasabi
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold running water until the water runs clear.
Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low heat for about 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and gently fold it in using a cutting and folding motion to avoid crushing the grains. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or clean kitchen towel.
Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Lightly press the rice to ensure it sticks to the nori.
Arrange 2 cooked shrimp, a few cucumber sticks, carrot sticks, and slices of avocado in a horizontal line about 1 inch from the bottom edge.
Using the mat or towel, roll the sushi tightly, applying gentle pressure to form a firm roll.
Seal the roll by slightly dampening the exposed edge of the nori and pressing it down.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
Serve the sushi with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
