Cucumber and Avocado Sushi Rolls

Enjoy the refreshing blend of cucumber and ripe avocado wrapped in sushi rice and nori, creating a delightful vegetarian delight. This recipe guides you through the simple steps to prepare these sushi rolls, focusing on balancing the crunchy texture of cucumber with the creaminess of avocado for an authentic sushi experience.

Ingredients

• 2 whole cucumbers, thinly sliced
• 1 whole avocado, sliced
• 1 cup sushi rice, cooked
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp sugar
• salt

Instructions

1. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve completely.
2. Gently fold the mixture into the cooked sushi rice until well combined, taking care not to mash the rice.
3. Lay a nori sheet shiny-side down on a bamboo sushi mat. With wet hands, spread a thin, even layer of seasoned rice over the nori, leaving about an inch of space at the top edge.
4. Arrange a line of cucumber and avocado slices along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori.
5. Gently lift the edge of the bamboo mat closest to you and roll it over the fillings to form a tight cylinder. Use the mat to squeeze the roll gently as you go to keep it compact.
6. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into six to eight pieces, cleaning the knife between each cut to ensure clean slices.
7. Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce and optional wasabi and pickled ginger.
