Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed rice with 2.5 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat slightly to dissolve. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.

Preparing the Fillings

  1. 4

    Prepare Vegetables

    Julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin strips. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin wedges.

Assembling the Manga

  1. 5

    Lay Out Nori

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

  2. 6

    Spread the Rice

    Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

  3. 7

    Add Fillings

    Line up the julienned cucumber, carrot, and avocado across the center of the rice.

  4. 8

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

  5. 9

    Slice the Roll

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 equal pieces.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Manga

    Arrange the sliced sushi on a plate. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
