Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 pieces Cooked prawns
• 0.5 piece Cucumber
• 1 piece Avocado
• 4 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 20 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.

Step 5

Transfer rice to a large bowl, add the vinegar mixture, and gently fold to combine. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Peel and remove the pit from the avocado. Slice into thin pieces and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 7

Slice the cucumber into thin strips lengthwise.

Step 8

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and cover with plastic wrap. Lay a nori sheet on top, shiny side down.

Step 9

Spread about 1/4 of the sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 10

Place 2 cooked prawns, some avocado slices, and cucumber strips horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 11

Optional: Spread a small amount of wasabi on the rice for added flavor.

Step 12

Begin rolling the sushi tightly by lifting the edge of the mat closest to you and rolling it over the filling. Continue rolling with even pressure until completely closed.

Step 13

Gently remove the mat and plastic wrap, and slice the roll into 8 equal pieces using a sharp knife.

Step 14

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 15

Serve the sushi rolls with pickled ginger and additional wasabi, if desired.
