Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 1 small Carrot
• 0.5 Red bell pepper
• 4 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Combine the rice with 1.25 cups of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.

Step 3

Remove the rice from heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour over the rice and mix gently with a wooden spoon. Allow rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Thinly slice the avocado, cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper into long strips.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch edge on the top side free of rice.

Step 8

Arrange slices of avocado, cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper in a line across the bottom third of the rice.

Step 9

Lift the bottom edge of the sushi mat and fold it over the filling, pressing gently. Continue to roll the sushi tightly away from you, using the mat to shape it.

Step 10

Moisten the top edge with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 11

Repeat with remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, slice each sushi roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 13

Serve sushi rolls with low sodium soy sauce on the side for dipping.
