Garden Roll Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
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 the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is done, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Assemble the Rolls
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and grab a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Layer the sliced avocado, cucumber, carrots, and asparagus on top of the rice.
Roll the Sushi
Starting from the bottom, roll the sushi tightly using the mat, applying gentle pressure. Moisten the top border with a little water to seal the roll.
Slice and Serve
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
