Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Sushi rice
• 2 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 2 ripe Avocado
• 0 for serving Soy sauce
• 0 for serving Wasabi
• 0 for serving Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and achieves the perfect sushi rice texture.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes to finish cooking.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, gently heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Do not let it boil.

Step 5

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and gently fold it in using a wooden paddle or spoon until the rice is well-coated and sticky. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and peel them. Slice the avocados into thin strips.

Step 7

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and put a sheet of plastic wrap on top to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the plastic-covered mat.

Step 9

Wet your fingers with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Take about a 3/4 cup of the prepared sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 10

Arrange a few strips of avocado horizontally across the rice, about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of the nori.

Step 11

Using the bamboo mat to help, roll the edge of the nori and rice over the avocado, pressing gently to form a tight cylinder.

Step 12

Continue rolling until the sushi roll is sealed and neatly wrapped in the nori, using the exposed section of nori to seal the roll.

Step 13

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.

Step 14

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

Step 15

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