Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
• 1 jar (about 4 oz) Vegan caviar (seaweed-based substitute for tobiko)
• 0.5 medium (julienned) Cucumber
• 1 small (julienned) Carrot
• 1 small (sliced) Avocado
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 ounces Pickled ginger
• 1 teaspoon (optional) Prepared wasabi

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2

Cook the sushi rice by combining it with 1.25 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a wooden spoon. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 4

While the rice cools, prepare your vegetables by julienning the cucumber and carrot and slicing the avocado.

Step 5

Place one sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin, even layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 6

Spread a small amount of vegan caviar along the center of the rice. Add julienned cucumber, carrot, and avocado slices on top.

Step 7

Lift the edge of the bamboo mat closest to you and begin to roll the sushi away from you, using the mat to shape it into a tight roll. Use a little water to seal the edge of the nori.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 9

Use a sharp knife dipped in water to cut each roll into 6-8 even pieces. Serve with additional vegan caviar on top, soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi if desired.
