Ingredients
1 cup sushi rice
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
2 nori sheets
1 avocado
1/2 cucumber
soy sauce for serving
Directions
-
Rinse the sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer and transfer it to a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add the mixture to the cooked rice and stir it in until the rice is evenly coated.
-
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of the vinegar-coated rice onto the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
-
Add your desired fillings, such as avocado slices or cucumber strips, to the center of the rice.
-
Use the sushi mat to roll the nori tightly until it forms a sushi roll. Wet the border with a little water to seal the roll together.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining nori and fillings.
-
Use a sharp knife to slice the rolls into 1-inch pieces.
-
Serve the avocado sushi rolls with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
-
Enjoy your fresh and healthy avocado sushi rolls that are perfect for a light lunch, snack, or party platter!
