Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 1/2 cucumber, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small carrot, julienned
- Soy sauce, for dipping
- Wasabi and pickled ginger, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 more minutes.
- Season the Rice: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold the seasoning into the cooked rice while it’s still warm. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
- Assemble the Rolls: Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge. Lay a few strips of cucumber, avocado, bell pepper, and carrot horizontally across the rice.
- Roll it Up: Starting from the bottom, carefully roll the sushi away from you, using the mat to help keep it tight. Roll until you reach the exposed edge of the nori, then wet it lightly to seal the roll.
- Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
