Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 pieces Nori sheets
- 0.5 pieces Cucumber
- 1 pieces Avocado
- 1 pieces Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (white and black, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (for serving)
- 0.5 teaspoons Wasabi (optional, for serving)
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. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
While the rice is resting, prepare the sushi vinegar. 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 sushi vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
Slice the cucumber, avocado, and carrot into thin strips approximately 4-5 inches long.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of plastic wrap on top to prevent sticking.
Spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the plastic wrap (about 1/2 inch thick). Press gently with damp hands to ensure it sticks.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice and place a nori sheet on top of the rice (shiny side down).
Arrange the cucumber, avocado, and carrot strips horizontally across the bottom third of the nori sheet.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully begin to roll the sushi tightly, ensuring the filling stays in place. Apply gentle pressure as you roll to shape the uramaki roll.
Once fully rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 equal pieces. Clean the knife blade between cuts for clean slices.
Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
