Ingredients
Scale
Sushi Rolls:
- 2 cups sushi rice, cooked and seasoned with rice vinegar
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 1/2 pound sushi-grade fish (like salmon or tuna), thinly sliced
- 1 small cucumber, julienned
- 1 small carrot, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Soy sauce for serving
- Pickled ginger and wasabi for serving
- Small bowl of water for sealing rolls
Instructions
- Prepare the Nori: Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay a sheet of plastic wrap on top if desired. Place one sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat.
- Spread Rice: With wet hands, spread about 1/2 cup of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- Add Fillings: Arrange fish, cucumber, carrot, and avocado in a line across the rice near the bottom edge.
- Roll the Sushi: Using the bamboo mat, lift the edge closest to you and gently roll it up and over the filling, pressing lightly to shape a tight roll. Seal the roll with a little water on the exposed nori edge.
- Slice and Serve: Transfer the roll to a cutting board and use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice into 6-8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
Notes
- For vegetarian rolls, skip the fish and add extra veggies like bell pepper or cooked sweet potato.
- Use a very sharp knife for clean cuts.
