Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- (optional for serving) Soy sauce
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
Cook the rice for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
Remove the rice from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooled rice using a wooden or silicone spatula.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cut it into thin strips. Set aside.
Peel and julienne the cucumber and carrot into long, thin strips.
Place one nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking, and spread about a quarter of the sushi rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Sprinkle a few sesame seeds over the rice.
Place a few strips of avocado, cucumber, and carrot horizontally across the center of the rice.
Dot a small amount of wasabi paste along the line of vegetables, if desired.
Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, applying gentle pressure to form a compact roll.
Seal the edge of the nori with a bit of water to ensure it sticks.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make three more rolls.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
Serve immediately with soy sauce on the side, if desired.
