Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 8 pieces Vegetarian shrimp (konjac-based)
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 small Carrot
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
- 2 teaspoons Wasabi
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, slice the cucumber, avocado, and carrot into thin strips.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface, then place a sheet of nori shiny side down.
Spread about 1/4 cup of prepared sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on one edge.
Place two pieces of vegetarian shrimp, a few slices of cucumber, avocado, and carrot across the center of the rice.
Use the bamboo mat to roll the sushi tightly away from you, applying gentle pressure. Seal the roll with a bit of water on the border of the nori.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 to 8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side as desired.
