Ingredients
  

For the Sushi Rice:
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
For the Rolls:
  • 4 nori sheets
  • ½ avocado sliced
  • ½ cucumber julienned
  • ½ carrot julienned
  • ½ red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup tofu strips optional
For Serving:
  • Soy sauce
  • Pickled ginger
  • Wasabi

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Rice: Rinse sushi rice until water runs clear. Cook with water until tender. Stir in vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it cool.
  2. Prep the Veggies: Slice the avocado, cucumber, carrot, and bell pepper into thin strips. Keep them ready for rolling.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Place a nori sheet on a bamboo mat, shiny side down. Spread an even layer of rice, leaving 1 inch at the top.
  4. Add Fillings: Arrange veggies and tofu (if using) in a horizontal line near the bottom edge of the rice.
  5. Roll it Up: Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly while applying gentle pressure. Seal the edge with a little water.
  6. Slice & Serve: Cut the roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp, damp knife. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
