Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Sushi rice
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 pieces Shrimp
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 Avocado
• 4 Nori sheets
• 0.5 Cucumber
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine the rinsed sushi rice and 2 cups of water in a rice cooker. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, or until the rice is tender.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Gradually fold the vinegar mixture into the rice using a wooden spoon or spatula. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

While the rice cools, prepare the shrimp. Peel and devein the shrimp, if necessary. Boil the shrimp in salted water for 3-4 minutes until pink and cooked through. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 6

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and remove the skin. Cut into thin strips.

Step 7

Slice the cucumber into thin matchsticks, about the length of the nori sheet.

Step 8

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of nori on top.

Step 9

Spread about 3/4 cup of the cooled sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch uncovered on one edge.

Step 10

Lay 2 shrimp, a few avocado strips, and cucumber matchsticks horizontally across the rice, starting at the edge closest to you.

Step 11

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

Step 12

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 13

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 14

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