Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 sheets nori sheets
• 1 cup hearts of palm
• 1 large avocado
• 0.5 cup cucumber
• 0.5 cup carrot
• 0 for serving soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice in a sieve under cold running water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes on the stovetop.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a spatula until evenly distributed. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Drain and julienne the hearts of palm into thin strips.

Step 6

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice thinly.

Step 7

Peel and julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin strips.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Wet your hands and evenly spread a quarter of the prepared sushi rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 10

Arrange a few slices of avocado, a portion of hearts of palm, cucumber, and carrot in a horizontal line in the center of the rice.

Step 11

Lift the bamboo mat using your thumbs while holding the fillings in place with your fingers then roll the nori over the filling until the rice and filling are enclosed.

Step 12

Gently squeeze along the length of the roll to compact the rice and seal the roll by wetting the exposed edge of the nori with a bit of water.

Step 13

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 14

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 to 8 pieces.

Step 15

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce for dipping.
