Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 0 (optional for serving) Soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 3

Cook the rice for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 4

Remove the rice from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooled rice using a wooden or silicone spatula.

Step 6

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cut it into thin strips. Set aside.

Step 7

Peel and julienne the cucumber and carrot into long, thin strips.

Step 8

Place one nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

Step 9

Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking, and spread about a quarter of the sushi rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 10

Sprinkle a few sesame seeds over the rice.

Step 11

Place a few strips of avocado, cucumber, and carrot horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 12

Dot a small amount of wasabi paste along the line of vegetables, if desired.

Step 13

Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, applying gentle pressure to form a compact roll.

Step 14

Seal the edge of the nori with a bit of water to ensure it sticks.

Step 15

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make three more rolls.

Step 16

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 17

Serve immediately with soy sauce on the side, if desired.
