Avocado Cucumber Roll Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions, usually in a rice cooker or on the stove with 1 cup of rice to 1.2 cups of water. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and mix in rice vinegar and salt.

2. 2

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it thinly. Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin strips or matchsticks.

3. 3

   Assemble the Rolls

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

4. 4

   Roll the Sushi

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

5. 5

   Slice and Serve

   Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
