Ingredients

• 200 grams Sushi rice
• 250 ml Water
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 200 grams Large prawns, peeled and deveined
• 3 Nori sheets
• 0.5 Cucumber, sliced into thin strips
• 0.5 Avocado, sliced thinly
• 1 teaspoons Wasabi paste
• 4 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine the rinsed sushi rice with 250 ml of water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 3

Once cooked, allow the rice to stand for 10 minutes before spreading it on a large plate or tray to cool slightly.

Step 4

Gently fold in the rice vinegar and salt into the warm rice, ensuring even distribution. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

While the rice cools, bring a pot of water to a boil and add the prawns. Cook the prawns until they are pink and opaque, approximately 3-4 minutes. Drain and let them cool.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Wet your hands and spread a thin, even layer of the seasoned rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 8

Arrange a few slices of cucumber, avocado, and prawns along the bottom third of the rice.

Step 9

Using the sushi mat, roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently yet firmly to ensure the roll is tight.

Step 10

Seal the edge of the nori with a little water to keep it closed.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to form additional rolls.

Step 12

Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces with a sharp knife.

Step 13

Serve with a small dollop of wasabi paste and low-sodium soy sauce on the side for dipping.
