Ingredients

• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 2.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 1 package Vegan shrimp
• 1 medium, julienned Cucumber
• 1 medium, sliced Avocado
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Pickled ginger
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

While the rice cooks, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve completely.

Step 4

Once the rice has cooked, remove it from heat. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and gently fold it in using a spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

On a bamboo sushi mat, place a nori sheet, shiny side down.

Step 6

Spread a thin, even layer of the cooled rice over the nori sheet, leaving about an inch uncovered at the top edge.

Step 7

Place a line of cucumber julienne, avocado slices, and a few pieces of vegan shrimp about one inch from the bottom of the nori sheet.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to shape it into a tight roll. Moisten the uncovered edge of the nori with water to seal the roll.

Step 9

Repeat the rolling process with the remaining ingredients.

Step 10

With a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 11

Serve the vegan shrimp sushi with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi paste.
