Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Sushi rice
• 2 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1.5 teaspoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Cucumber
• 1 large Carrot
• 0.5 medium Avocado
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons Pickled ginger
• 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed.

Step 3

Remove the rice from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt together until dissolved.

Step 5

Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and fold to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 6

While the rice is cooling, peel the cucumber and cut it into thin, long strips.

Step 7

Peel the carrot and julienne or cut into thin matchsticks.

Step 8

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice it thinly.

Step 9

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface, and place a piece of plastic wrap over the mat.

Step 10

Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat. Wet your hands with water and spread about 3/4 cup of the rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch edge at the top.

Step 11

Lay a few slices of cucumber, carrot, and avocado horizontally across the middle of the rice.

Step 12

Roll the mat away from you, pressing the rice gently into a roll. Lift the mat as you go, keeping the roll tight.

Step 13

Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Step 14

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
