Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 4 sheets nori
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 medium cucumber, cut into thin strips
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp wasabi (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Rinse sushi rice under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions (about 20 minutes) until tender and sticky. Let cool slightly.
- While rice cools, prepare fillings by slicing cucumber and julienning carrot. Cut avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out flesh, and slice thinly.
- Lay a bamboo sushi mat covered with plastic wrap on a clean surface. Place a sheet of nori shiny side down on the mat.
- Wet your hands to prevent sticking; take about one cup of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori sheet, leaving an inch at the top edge free from rice.
- Layer avocado slices, cucumber strips, and carrot shreds across the middle of the rice-covered nori.
- Starting from the edge closest to you, roll away from yourself using gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal by wetting the exposed edge of nori with water.
- Transfer rolls to plates and cut into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi for dipping.
