Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.5 cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 mango
• 0.5 cucumber
• 0.5 avocado
• 4 nori sheets
• 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 bamboo sushi mat

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and 1.5 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it sit, covered, for another 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice.

Step 5

Allow the rice to cool to room temperature by spreading it out on a baking sheet.

Step 6

Peel and slice the mango into thin strips. Do the same for the cucumber and avocado, ensuring all pieces are approximately the same size for even distribution.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Wet your hands with a mixture of water and rice vinegar to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on one end.

Step 9

Arrange a few strips of mango, cucumber, and avocado horizontally across the rice.

Step 10

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to seal it tightly.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 12

Once all rolls are made, use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 13

Serve with low-sodium soy sauce for dipping. Enjoy your fresh, low-sodium mango sushi rolls!
