Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.5 Red bell pepper
• 4 ounces Sushi-grade salmon
• 4 ounces Sushi-grade tuna
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 4 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar and sugar. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a spatula, avoiding breaking the grains.

Step 4

Allow the seasoned rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Prepare the fillings: Julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin strips, pit and slice the avocado, and cut the red bell pepper into thin strips.

Step 6

Slice the salmon and tuna into thin strips or small pieces.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Spread approximately 1/4 of the sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top free of rice.

Step 9

Arrange strips of cucumber, carrot, avocado, and red bell pepper across the center of the rice. Add a few pieces of salmon and tuna.

Step 10

Lift the edge of the mat closest to you, keeping the fillings in place with your fingers. Gently roll the mat away from you, pressing gently to shape the roll.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 12

Serve the sushi with wasabi paste and low-sodium soy sauce on the side.
