Ingredients

• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 2.5 cups Water
• 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 5 pieces Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and will help your rice stay fluffy.

Step 2

Add the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water to a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Do not allow it to boil.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a wooden spoon or rice paddle. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

While the rice cools, prepare the vegetables. Slice the cucumber, carrot, and avocado into thin, even strips about 4 inches long.

Step 6

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and top with a sheet of nori, shiny side down.

Step 7

With wet hands to prevent sticking, spread a thin, even layer of cooled rice over the nori, leaving about a 1-inch border on the top edge.

Step 8

Arrange the vegetable strips, such as cucumbers, carrots, and avocado, horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 9

Using the sushi mat, roll the nori sheet over the filling toward the top edge. Gently press and shape into a firm roll.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife dipped in water, slice the roll into 6-8 equal pieces. Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets, rice, and vegetables.

Step 11

Serve the maki rolls with soy sauce for dipping. Enjoy your dairy-free vegetable maki rolls!
