Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Sushi rice
  • 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Cucumber sliced into thin strips
  • 1 Avocado sliced into thin strips
  • 4 sheets Nori

Instructions 

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Cook the rice in a rice cooker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
  4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
  5. Place a sheet of nori on the bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
  6. Arrange cucumber and avocado strips along the bottom edge of the rice.
  7. Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly from the bottom, applying gentle pressure to form a roll. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
  8. Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
