Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked Sushi rice
  • 1.25 cups Water
  • 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt
  • 8 large, cooked Shrimp
  • 3 sheets Nori sheets
  • 1 ripe, sliced Avocado
  • 1 small, julienned Cucumber
  • 0 for serving Soy sauce
  • 0 for serving (optional) Wasabi
  • 0 for serving (optional) Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions; alternatively, bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and combine gently. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Peel and devein the shrimp if necessary, then cook them until just done, or use pre-cooked shrimp if preferred.

Step 5

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface, then place one sheet of nori on the mat. With wet hands, spread a thin even layer of sushi rice over two-thirds of the nori sheet. Leave the top third bare.

Step 6

Arrange a few slices of avocado and a strip of cucumber across the center of the rice. Place 2-3 pieces of shrimp on top.

Step 7

Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the nori away from you, keeping it tight with gentle pressure. Seal the roll by moistening the end of the nori with water.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 6 equal pieces. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make two more rolls.

Step 9

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