Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 30 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 50 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Intermediate

Ingredients

• 2 cups sushi rice
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shelled edamame, cooked and cooled
• 1 cucumber, julienned
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
• Soy sauce, for serving
• Pickled ginger, for serving
• Wasabi, for serving

Instructions

1. Rinse the sushi rice in a fine mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is completely absorbed.
2. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir to dissolve the sugar and salt.
3. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a wooden spoon. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
4. Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands with water and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
5. Arrange a row of edamame, cucumber, carrot, and avocado slices along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori.
6. Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently but firmly. Wet the uncovered edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
7. Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
8. Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water.
9. Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.

Helpful Tips

• If you’re new to sushi-making, practice rolling with just rice before adding the vegetables to get a feel for the pressure needed.
• To make cutting easier, clean your knife with a wet cloth between slices.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover sushi rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Note that the texture of the rice may change slightly.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Use brown sushi rice for a healthier alternative.
• Replace any of the vegetables with your favorites, such as bell pepper or asparagus.

Pairings

These sushi rolls pair wonderfully with a light miso soup or a crisp seaweed salad. For drinks, try a chilled green tea or a refreshing ginger lemonade.
