Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Sushi rice
• 2 cups Water
• 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 12 pieces Fresh prawns
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 small Cucumber
• 0.5 medium Avocado

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes to steam the rice.

Step 5

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for 30 seconds or until sugar is dissolved. Stir well.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a spatula. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Peel and devein the prawns, then boil them in salted water for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Drain and let cool.

Step 8

Thinly slice the cucumber and avocado into strips.

Step 9

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

Step 10

With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 11

Spread a small amount of wasabi horizontally across the rice, about 1 inch from the bottom edge.

Step 12

Lay 3 prawns, cucumber, and avocado slices on top of the wasabi line.

Step 13

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently to shape the roll.

Step 14

Continue rolling until the nori is completely wrapped around the fillings and the seam is on the bottom.

Step 15

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets, rice, and fillings.

Step 16

Use a sharp serrated knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 17

Serve the prawn sushi with soy sauce for dipping.
