Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Sushi rice
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 large Fresh scallops
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 0.5 cucumber Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 2 stalks Scallions

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water in a saucepan; bring to a boil.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Spread the cooked rice on a large plate or baking sheet, and slowly add the vinegar mixture, folding to incorporate without mashing the rice. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

While the rice is cooling, prepare the scallops. Gently rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut each scallop horizontally into two thin slices.

Step 5

Combine low-fat mayonnaise with a small amount of wasabi paste and a tiny pinch of salt to taste, then gently toss this mixture with the scallops to coat lightly.

Step 6

Peel and slice the cucumber into thin strips and dice the avocado. Finely chop the scallions.

Step 7

Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and take a handful of prepared sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 8

Arrange a few slices of scallop along with some cucumber and avocado strips across the center of the rice. Sprinkle with some chopped scallions.

Step 9

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to shape it into a tight cylinder.

Step 10

Seal the edge of the nori with a few drops of water. Repeat with remaining nori, rice, and fillings.

Step 11

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 pieces. Serve immediately with soy sauce and additional wasabi on the side.
