Ingredients

• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 2.5 cups Water
• 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 8 pieces Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 8 pieces Imitation crab sticks or smoked salmon
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce (for dipping)
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed.

Step 3

Remove the rice from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked rice to a large mixing bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture while fanning the rice to cool it to room temperature.

Step 5

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of nori shiny side down on the mat.

Step 6

Spread about 3/4 cup of the seasoned sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 7

Lay a few slices of cucumber, avocado, carrot, and your choice of imitation crab or smoked salmon horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori sheet from the bottom edge, pressing firmly to form a tight cylinder.

Step 9

Seal the roll by moistening the top edge of the nori with a little water. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 equal pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to maintain cleanliness.

Step 11

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and optional wasabi for dipping. Enjoy your homemade Super Sushi Nori Rolls!
