Ingredients

• 1 cup Gluten-free sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Gluten-free nori seaweed sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 large Avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup Pre-made gluten-free fried onions
• 0.25 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a medium pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the pot from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 10 additional minutes.

Step 4

While the rice is cooking, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat in the microwave for 20 seconds and stir until dissolved.

Step 5

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Lay a sheet of gluten-free nori with the shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat lined with plastic wrap.

Step 7

Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then spread a thin, even layer of rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space on the edge farthest from you.

Step 8

Arrange julienned cucumber, carrots, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of gluten-free fried onions horizontally across the lower third of the rice.

Step 9

Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing firmly with each turn to create a uniform cylinder. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining nori and fillings until you have four rolls.

Step 11

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 equal pieces, cleaning the blade with a damp cloth between cuts for a clean finish.

Step 12

Serve the sushi rolls with tamari, pickled ginger, and optional wasabi on the side. Enjoy!
