Ingredients

• 8 pieces Shrimp (cooked, peeled, deveined)
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1.5 cups Sushi rice
• 2 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 0 optional Soy sauce (for serving)
• 0 optional Wasabi (optional)
• 0 optional Pickled ginger (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps the rice cook properly.

Step 2

Place the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water in a rice cooker or saucepan. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes until tender.

Step 3

While the rice cooks, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring, until the sugar and salt dissolve. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large, shallow bowl. Pour the seasoned vinegar mixture over the rice and gently fold it in with a wooden spatula. Let the rice cool to room temperature, covering it with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.

Step 5

Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips or wedges.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Spread approximately a quarter of the sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge for sealing.

Step 8

Place 2 cooked shrimp and a few avocado slices across the center of the rice-covered nori.

Step 9

Using the bamboo sushi mat, gently roll the nori over the filling, applying even pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the roll by moistening the top edge of the nori with a little water, then pressing it shut.

Step 10

Repeat this process with the remaining nori, rice, shrimp, and avocado to create 4 rolls in total.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife dipped in water, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife clean between cuts to maintain neat edges.

Step 12

Arrange the rolls on a platter and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger, if desired.
