Ingredients

• 2 sheets Gluten-free nori sheets
• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 whole Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 whole Avocado
• 4 ounces Cooked shrimp or sashimi-grade fish (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Tamari sauce (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
• 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 water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.

Step 3

Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl and let it cool slightly. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved, then gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Set the seasoned rice aside.

Step 4

Julienne or thinly slice the cucumber and carrot. Slice the avocado into thin strips.

Step 5

Lay a sheet of gluten-free nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side facing down.

Step 6

Spread half of the seasoned sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 7

Arrange cucumber, carrot, avocado, and your protein of choice (shrimp, fish, or omit for a vegetarian version) horizontally across the center of the rice. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for added flavor.

Step 8

Use the bamboo mat to tightly roll the nori into a burrito shape, starting from the edge closest to you and rolling away. Press gently but firmly to secure the roll.

Step 9

Repeat the same steps with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.

Step 10

Slice the sushi burritos in half or enjoy them whole. Serve with tamari sauce for dipping, wasabi for a kick, and pickled ginger on the side.
