Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 cup Fried onions (vegan)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free, if needed)
• 0.5 teaspoons Wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.

Step 2

While the rice cooks, prepare the sushi vinegar by mixing rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.

Step 3

Once the rice is done, let it cool slightly and gently fold in the sushi vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to come to room temperature.

Step 4

Julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin strips. Cut the avocado into thin slices.

Step 5

Lay a sheet of nori shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread about 1/4 cup of seasoned sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 6

Arrange a few strips of cucumber, carrot, and avocado horizontally across the lower third of the rice. Sprinkle a small amount of fried onions on top for crunch.

Step 7

Using the sushi mat, tightly roll the nori around the fillings, pressing gently but firmly to secure. Seal the edge with a small dab of water to help it stick.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining nori sheets, rice, and fillings to create four sushi rolls.

Step 9

Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Sprinkle the sliced rolls with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
