Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 teaspoons Toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from being too sticky.

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed. Let it sit for 10 minutes off the heat, still covered.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a wooden spoon or spatula. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 4

While the rice cools, prepare the vegetables. Peel and julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin strips. Slice the avocado and red bell pepper into thin, long slices.

Step 5

Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of cooled sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 6

Arrange a few strips of cucumber, carrot, avocado, and red bell pepper horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 7

Using the bamboo mat (or your fingers), carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle but firm pressure to keep the roll tight. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining nori, rice, and vegetables until all ingredients are used.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to keep the slices clean and even.

Step 10

Sprinkle the sushi rolls with toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Step 11

Serve with soy sauce on the side, if desired. Enjoy your sugar-free veggie sushi rolls!
