Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked sushi rice
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 cup Cooked shrimp or imitation crab
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional, for spicy mayo)
Instructions
Prepare the sushi rice if not already done by cooking it according to the package instructions. Let it cool to room temperature and mix gently with rice vinegar.
Peel the cucumber and carrot, then cut both into thin matchstick-sized strips. Slice the avocado into thin slices.
Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a clean cutting board or sushi rolling mat.
Spread about 1/2 cup of the prepared sushi rice evenly across the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top for sealing the roll.
Arrange a few cucumber and carrot matchsticks, a slice or two of avocado, and a portion of the cooked shrimp or imitation crab in a horizontal line about 1 inch from the bottom of the nori sheet.
Carefully roll the bottom edge of the nori over the fillings, tucking it tightly as you go. Use slight pressure to firm up the roll. Dab a little water on the top edge of the nori to help seal the roll.
Repeat steps 4–6 for the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6–8 bite-sized pieces, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.
Optional: Mix mayonnaise with sriracha to create spicy mayo for dipping or drizzling over the rolls.
Garnish rolls with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
