Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 package Nori (seaweed sheets) 
  • 1 batch prepared Sushi Rice
  • 1 red bell pepper, julienned
  • 2 Persian cucumbers, cut into 1/4" strips lengthwise
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 carrot, peeled and julienned
  • Soy sauce, for serving (I prefer Bragg Liquid Aminos) 
  • Wasabi, for serving. Optional. (prepared from powder)
  • pickled ginger, for serving, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare your sushi rice according to the linked instructions. This will take about 30-40 minutes, but you can start preparing your vegetables while the rice steams.
  2. Lay 1 piece of nori on the sushi mat. Wet your hands or a spoon with a little water and press a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1/2" border on one long side. I found using the back of a large spoon or measuring cup worked well to make an even layer. 
  3. Lay your fillings along the top long side of the rice, as my daughter is doing in the photo above. 
    Using the sushi mat, lift the top long edge of the nori and rice over the fillings and continue to roll tightly. When you get to the end, wet the 1/2" edge without rice to help the nori stick to itself. 
  4. Use a sharp chef's knife to slice the log crosswise into rolls. Serve with soy sauce or liquid aminos and wasabi, if desired.
