Ingredients
-
2 pieces
Nori Seaweeds

1 cup
Sushi Rice
-
5 tablespoons
Rice Vinegar
-
1/3 tablespoon
Sugar
-
1/3 teaspoon
Salt
-
1 piece
Avocado
-
1/2 cup
Soy Sauce
-
2 tablespoons
Wasabi paste
-
1/2 cup
Pickled Ginger
-
1 piece
Bamboo Mat
Directions
-
Alternatively, you can use Sushi rice seasoning powder.
-
Wash the rice with running water for at least 1-2 minutes until there is no more starch coming out of it. Place it gently in a pot, add a little bit more water then the rice (the ration should be about 1.15:1). Don’t put too much water otherwise you’ll get dough instead of rice.
-
The rice should be cooked on high heat at first. Stir every minute or two, until the water boils. Then, lower the heat to minimum and cover the pot.
-
After 6-8 minutes, check the water – if there is no more water that means that the rice is done.
-
When the rice is cooked turn off the heat and gently put the rice in a separate bowl. Use a wooden spoon to take the rice out if needed. Add vinegar, sugar and salt and stir well and let it aside to chill.
-
After the rice is cooled down take one sheet of seaweed and cut it on half (you can use scissors). Put the one half on a bamboo mat. With a wooden spoon take a little bit of rice and place it on a seaweed sheet. Gently spread the rice on whole seaweed leaving a free line 1cm from the top.
-
Cut the avocado into thin slices and place 1-2 slices into middle down bottom on a full length of the sheets.
-
And now very gently roll the sushi helping yourself with the bamboo mat. And there you have it :)
