Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 8 pieces Vegetarian shrimp (konjac-based)
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 small Carrot
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
• 2 teaspoons Wasabi

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan.

Step 2

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Meanwhile, slice the cucumber, avocado, and carrot into thin strips.

Step 5

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface, then place a sheet of nori shiny side down.

Step 6

Spread about 1/4 cup of prepared sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on one edge.

Step 7

Place two pieces of vegetarian shrimp, a few slices of cucumber, avocado, and carrot across the center of the rice.

Step 8

Use the bamboo mat to roll the sushi tightly away from you, applying gentle pressure. Seal the roll with a bit of water on the border of the nori.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.

Step 10

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 to 8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts.

Step 11

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