Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.
- 2
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold it in using a spatula to avoid mashing the rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Assemble the Roll
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay one nori sheet, shiny side down, on the mat. Wet your hands and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.

Fill the Roll
Arrange slices of cooked eel and avocado along the center of the rice. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.

Roll it Up
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Roll until you reach the bare edge of the nori. Wet the edge with a little water to seal the roll.

Slice and Serve
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
