Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 nori sheets
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sushi rice
- 1 medium avocado
Rice Preparation Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional Garnish and Serving:
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for serving)
- 1 tablespoon wasabi paste (optional)
- 1 tablespoon pickled ginger (optional)
Instructions
- Carefully slice ripe avocado into delicate, uniform strips, ensuring each piece maintains its vibrant green hue. Protect freshness by gently coating with citrus juice to prevent oxidation.
- Position bamboo mat and place nori sheet with glossy surface facing downward. Distribute sushi rice evenly across seaweed, maintaining a small bare margin along the upper edge for seamless sealing.
- Strategically arrange avocado strips across the rice landscape, positioning them approximately one-quarter from the bottom edge of the nori sheet.
- Utilize bamboo mat’s flexibility to craft a tight, cylindrical form, applying gentle pressure to create a compact roll. Moisten exposed nori edge with water to secure the seam.
- For uramaki variation, layer clean plastic wrap atop bamboo mat. Spread rice uniformly across entire nori surface, creating a thin, consistent coating. Optionally dust with toasted sesame seeds for added texture.
- Invert rice-covered nori, positioning avocado slices centrally for balanced filling. Execute precise rolling technique, leveraging bamboo mat’s guidance.
- Cleanse sharp knife with water between each cut to ensure pristine, clean slices. Slice rolls into bite-sized segments, maintaining aesthetic symmetry and uniform thickness.
Notes
- Perfectly ripe avocados are key to achieving creamy, smooth texture in your sushi rolls.
- Using cold rice helps maintain the ideal sticky consistency and prevents mushy rolls.
- Dip your knife in water between cuts to create clean, precise sushi slices without sticking.
- Experiment with additional vegan fillings like cucumber, carrots, or tofu for extra flavor and nutrition.
