Seaweed Sushi Roll Recipe

Prepare the Sushi Rice

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, transfer it to a large bowl.

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 with a wooden spoon. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare the Vegetables

Julienne the cucumber, carrot, and avocado into thin strips.

Assemble the Sushi Rolls

Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, and grab a handful of sushi rice. Spread the rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

Add Fillings

Lay a few strips of cucumber, carrot, and avocado across the center of the rice-covered nori.

Roll the Sushi

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly. Continue rolling until you reach the top edge of the nori. Moisten the edge with a little water to seal the roll.

Cut and Serve

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with soy sauce on the side.
