Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 200 grams fresh fish fillet (salmon or tuna)
• 1 medium avocado
• 3 large nori sheets
• 1 small cucumber
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon wasabi paste

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine rice and water in a saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for another 10 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl. Gradually fold in the vinegar-sugar mixture while the rice is still warm. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Cut the fresh fish fillet into thin strips, ensuring they are even to fit within the sushi roll.

Step 6

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel it, and slice it into thin pieces.

Step 7

Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips.

Step 8

Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 9

Arrange a few strips of fish, avocado slices, and cucumber sticks across the middle of the rice.

Step 10

Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently to form a cylinder. Moisten the top border with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make two more rolls.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into six pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.

Step 13

Serve the sushi rolls with low-sodium soy sauce and a small amount of wasabi paste on the side.
