Vegan Classic Roll Recipe

Instructions for Vegan Classic Roll

1. 1

   Prepare the Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Season the Rice

   In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is done resting, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Assemble the Rolls

   Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface. Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

4. 4

   Add Fillings

   Arrange a line of cucumber, pickled carrot, and avocado slices along the bottom of the rice-covered nori.

5. 5

   Roll the Sushi

   Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight. Roll until the edge of the nori is reached, then wet it with a little water to seal the roll.

6. 6

   Slice and Serve

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