Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 sheets Nori sheets
• 0.5 Cucumber
• 1 Avocado
• 0.5 Carrot
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 Orange

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Combine the rice and 1.25 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and cover.

Step 3

Let the rice simmer for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour over cooked rice and gently fold with a spatula to combine. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Peel and thinly slice the cucumber, julienne the carrot, and slice the avocado into thin strips.

Step 6

Peel the orange and slice it into thin rounds, removing any seeds.

Step 7

Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Place cucumber, carrot, and avocado in a line across the center of the rice.

Step 10

Carefully roll the sushi using the mat, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Seal the edges with a little water.

Step 11

Repeat the rolling process with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.

Step 12

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 equal pieces, cleaning the knife with a damp cloth between cuts.

Step 13

Top each sushi piece with a thin slice of orange.

Step 14

Serve with soy sauce for dipping.
