Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 whole nori sheets
• 2 whole ripe avocados
• 0 for serving soy sauce
• 0 for serving wasabi
• 0 for serving pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Drain the rice and transfer it to a rice cooker or a pot. Add 1 1/4 cups of water.

Step 3

Cook the rice in the rice cooker or bring it to a boil in the pot, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 18-20 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Step 4

While the rice is cooking, prepare the sushi vinegar mixture by combining 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 5

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gradually stir in the sushi vinegar mixture. Use a wooden spoon to gently fold the rice to cool it while mixing. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Peel and pit the avocados, then slice them into thin strips.

Step 7

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a piece of plastic wrap over the mat. Place a nori sheet on top of the plastic wrap.

Step 8

Wet your hands to prevent the rice from sticking, then spread a thin, even layer of prepared sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge of the nori.

Step 9

Arrange a few avocado strips horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 10

Lift the edge of the sushi mat closest to you, and carefully roll it over the filling, using the mat to help shape the roll. Gently press to secure the roll and continue rolling until you reach the exposed edge of the nori.

Step 11

Remove the sushi mat and plastic wrap. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 12

Repeat the process with the remaining nori and fillings.

Step 13

Serve the avocado rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
