Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 small Carrot
• 0.5 medium Avocado
• 4 sticks Imitation crab sticks (low-fat variety)
• 2 sheets Nori (seaweed sheet)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (toasted)
• 1 sheet Plastic wrap

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures the rice won't be sticky.

Step 2

Add the rinsed rice and water to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed.

Step 3

Remove the rice from heat and let it sit with the lid on for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar and low-sodium soy sauce. Gradually fold this mixture into the rice to season it, careful not to mash the grains. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Prepare the vegetables: Peel and julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin strips. Slice the avocado into thin pieces. Set all fillings aside.

Step 6

Lay a sushi mat on a clean surface and cover it with a sheet of plastic wrap to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place a sheet of nori shiny side down on the plastic wrap. Using wet hands, spread an even layer of sushi rice across the entire nori sheet (about 1/4 inch thick). Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds evenly over the rice.

Step 8

Carefully invert the nori sheet so the rice is now facing down onto the plastic wrap. Place the cucumber, carrot, avocado, and imitation crab sticks in a horizontal line across the center of the nori.

Step 9

Using your fingers and the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori into a tight cylinder, starting from the edge closest to you. Apply gentle pressure on the roll to ensure it's compact.

Step 10

Remove the roll from the mat and use a sharp knife (dipped in water to prevent sticking) to cut the roll into approximately 8 equal pieces.

Step 11

Plate the uramaki and serve with additional low-sodium soy sauce or pickled ginger, if desired. Enjoy your low-fat sushi creation!
