Preparation Steps

1

Prepare Sushi Rice

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions and let it cool slightly.

2

Slice Ingredients

Thinly slice the cucumber and avocado. Set aside.

3

Layer Nori and Rice

Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

4

Add Fillings

Place a few slices of cucumber, avocado, and 2 pieces of shrimp horizontally across the rice.

5

Roll the Sushi

Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently. Wet the top edge of the nori to seal the roll.

6

Cut the Roll

Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 8 equal pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean edges.

7

Garnish and Serve

Place the sushi rolls on a serving plate. Drizzle eel sauce over the top, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with wasabi and soy sauce on the side.
