Ingredients
- 4 sheets nori sheets
- 200 grams seaweed salad
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 large avocado
- 1 large carrot
- 50 grams pickled ginger
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your vegetables. Peel the carrot and cucumber, then cut them into long, thin strips, ideally about the length of the nori sheets. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Slice it into thin strips.
Step 2
Lay one nori sheet on a clean, dry surface or a sushi mat, if available. Ensure the rough side of the nori is facing upwards.
Step 3
Spread approximately 50 grams of seaweed salad evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the top free of seaweed to allow for easy sealing.
Step 4
Place a few strips of cucumber, carrot, and avocado horizontally across the seaweed salad, positioned nearer the bottom third of the nori sheet.
Step 5
Sprinkle a small amount of pickled ginger over the vegetables, if desired, for extra flavor.
Step 6
Begin rolling the nori over the filling, pressing gently yet firmly to keep the roll tight. Use the sushi mat to help if you have one. Continue rolling until the entire sheet is rolled up.
Step 7
Moisten the exposed edge of the nori sheet with a little water to seal the roll.
Step 8
Repeat this process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
Step 9
Once all rolls are complete, use a sharp knife to carefully slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth between slices to ensure clean cuts.
Step 10
To finish, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each sushi piece.
Step 11
Serve immediately with soy sauce and a small amount of wasabi paste on the side for dipping.
