Ingredients

• 300 grams sushi rice
• 400 ml water
• 50 ml rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 4 sheets nori seaweed sheets
• 50 grams low sodium fish roe
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
• 50 grams pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the rinsed rice and water into a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, mix the rice vinegar and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. While it's still hot, gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a wooden spatula. Be careful not to mash the rice.

Step 5

Allow the rice to cool to a slightly warm temperature. It should remain sticky.

Step 6

Peel and cut the cucumber and avocado into thin strips.

Step 7

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and top it with a piece of plastic wrap. Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat.

Step 8

Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, take a handful of sushi rice, and spread it evenly over two-thirds of the nori sheet, leaving a border at the top.

Step 9

Spread a thin line of wasabi horizontally across the rice to your taste.

Step 10

Place strips of cucumber and avocado along the wasabi line, and add a few spoonfuls of low sodium fish roe.

Step 11

Begin rolling the mat tightly away from you, pressing gently and securely to form a roll. Moisturize the free top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into six or eight bite-sized pieces.

Step 13

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 14

Serve with low sodium soy sauce, pickled ginger, and extra wasabi if desired.
