Equipment
- 1 Sushi mat
- 1 Rice cooker (or pot)
- 1 Sharp knife
- 1 Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups sushi rice - rinsed
- 2 cups water - for cooking rice
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar - for seasoning rice
- 2 tablespoons sugar - for seasoning rice
- 1 teaspoon salt - for seasoning rice
- 4 sheets nori - seaweed
- 1 medium cucumber - julienned
- 1 medium carrot - julienned
- 1 avocado - sliced
- 1 bell pepper - thinly sliced
- Pickled ginger - for serving
- Soy sauce - for dipping
- Wasabi - optional
Instructions
- Cook the sushi rice in a rice cooker or pot, using 2 cups of water.
- Once cooked, allow the rice to cool slightly. In a separate bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved, then gently fold this mixture into the rice.
- Lay a sheet of nori on the sushi mat. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then grab a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top.
- Arrange your choice of vegetables in a line along the bottom of the rice-covered nori.
- Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll.
- Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between slices for clean cuts.
- Serve with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi on the side.
Notes
Experiment with different vegetables such as avocado, cucumber, bell peppers, or carrots!
Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi for the authentic sushi experience.
For a spicy kick, add some sriracha or a drizzle of sesame oil to the rice.
