Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sushi rice
- 2.5 cups Water
- 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 8 pieces Nori sheets
- 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 8 pieces Imitation crab sticks or smoked salmon
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (for dipping)
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed.
Remove the rice from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
Transfer the cooked rice to a large mixing bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture while fanning the rice to cool it to room temperature.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of nori shiny side down on the mat.
Spread about 3/4 cup of the seasoned sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Lay a few slices of cucumber, avocado, carrot, and your choice of imitation crab or smoked salmon horizontally across the center of the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori sheet from the bottom edge, pressing firmly to form a tight cylinder.
Seal the roll by moistening the top edge of the nori with a little water. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 equal pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to maintain cleanliness.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and optional wasabi for dipping. Enjoy your homemade Super Sushi Nori Rolls!
