Method

Preparing Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine-mesh sieve, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Preparing Avocado Filling

  1. 4

    Mash the Avocados

    Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lime juice and salt. Mash with a fork until smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

Assembling the Rolls

  1. 5

    Prepare the Nori

    Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean, flat surface. Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the mat.

  2. 6

    Add Sushi Rice

    With wet hands, take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge without rice.

  3. 7

    Add Avocado Filling

    Place a line of the mashed avocado filling horizontally across the center of the rice-covered nori.

  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 and Serve

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