Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 pieces Konjac shrimp substitute
- 4 full sheets Nori sheets
- 0.5 piece Cucumber
- 0.5 piece Carrot
- 1 piece Avocado
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Pickled ginger (gari)
- 2 tablespoons Wasabi
Instructions
Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, and then combine with 1.25 cups of water in a medium-sized pot.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until water is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt until dissolved.
Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture until rice is well coated. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Peel and slice 0.5 cucumber, 0.5 carrot, and 1 avocado into long, thin strips.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and cover with plastic wrap. Place one nori sheet on the plastic wrap, shiny side down.
Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread 1/4 of the sushi rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch at the top for sealing.
Arrange a few slices of cucumber, carrot, avocado, and 2 pieces of konjac shrimp substitute in a horizontal line across the center of the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori over the fillings, pressing gently but tightly with each roll until completely enclosed.
Moisten the exposed edge of the nori sheet and seal the roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 8 even pieces.
Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and a small amount of wasabi on the side.
