Avocado Sushi Rolls
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 4 nori seaweed sheets
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Soy sauce, for serving
- Pickled ginger, for serving
- Wasabi, for serving
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a large wooden or glass bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Use a wooden spoon to fold the vinegar mixture into the rice, fanning the rice as you mix to help it cool.
- Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat. Moisten your hands with water and spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Place a few slices of avocado in the center of the rice.
- Use the bamboo mat to roll the sushi into a tight cylinder. Moisten the top border of the nori with water to seal the roll. Repeat with the remaining nori, rice, and avocado.
- Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6 pieces. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
