Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 nori sheets
- 1 cucumber, cut into sticks
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 eggs, cooked into a thin omelette
- Soy sauce and pickled ginger, to serve
Instructions
- 1Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then cook with the water. Stir in the vinegar, sugar and salt and let it cool.
- 2Place a nori sheet shiny-side down on a bamboo mat, then spread a thin, even layer of rice, leaving a 2cm strip at the top.
- 3Lay a row of cucumber, avocado and omelette across the middle.
- 4Use the mat to roll it up firmly, tucking the filling as you go.
- 5Wet a sharp knife and slice the roll into 8 pieces.
- 6Serve with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
Tips
- Wet your hands and the knife to stop the rice from sticking.
- Don't overfill — a small row of filling rolls the neatest.
- Chill the rice until room temperature; hot rice makes the nori soggy.
