Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1.5 teaspoons sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 whole nori sheets
• 6 pieces plant-based prawns
• 1 small, julienned cucumber
• 1 ripe, sliced avocado
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger
• 1 teaspoon wasabi

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and 1.25 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down.

Step 6

Wet your hands to prevent the rice from sticking, then spread a thin, even layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 7

Arrange 2 pieces of plant-based prawns, a few cucumber strips, and avocado slices horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 8

Use the sushi mat to roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently but firmly. Continue rolling tightly, using the mat to help shape the sushi into a cylinder.

Step 9

Dampen the exposed edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 10

Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 12

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
