Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Seasoned rice vinegar (low sodium)
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.25 cup 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

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 4

Remove the pot from heat and let it stand covered for 10 minutes to finish cooking.

Step 5

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the seasoned rice vinegar. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips. Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin, long strips, discarding the seeds if necessary.

Step 7

Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

Step 8

Wet your hands with water and evenly spread about 1/4 of the rice onto the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 9

Arrange a few strips of avocado and cucumber along the bottom edge where the rice meets the nori.

Step 10

Using the bamboo mat, begin rolling the nori sheet away from you, applying gentle pressure to shape the roll. Continue rolling until the edge of the nori is sealed.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining sheets of nori and ingredients to make four rolls in total.

Step 12

Using a sharp, clean knife, cut each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 13

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