Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets (dried seaweed)
• 12 large Cooked prawns
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 ripe Avocado
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
• 4 tablespoons Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

Remove from heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Gently fold the rice with a wooden spatula to cool it down and evenly distribute the seasoning.

Step 5

Cut the cucumber into thin strips, removing any seeds. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cut into thin slices.

Step 6

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and cover with plastic wrap to prevent sticking. Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the mat.

Step 7

Spread about 1/4 of the seasoned sushi rice over two-thirds of the nori sheet, leaving the top third empty.

Step 8

Arrange 3 cooked prawns, cucumber strips, and a few avocado slices horizontally across the rice, about 1 inch from the bottom edge.

Step 9

Using the bamboo mat, carefully lift the bottom edge of the nori. Roll it over the filling, pressing gently to shape the roll. Continue to roll until you reach the end of the nori sheet; apply gentle pressure to secure.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more rolls.

Step 11

Slice each roll into 6 pieces using a sharp, wet knife. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 12

Serve the prawn sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side.
