INGREDIENT NOTES:
Sushi Rice:
- Short-grain or medium-grain rice should be used. It becomes sticky when cooked, ideal to make sushi. Sprinkle rice vinegar, sugar & salt.
Nori:
- The roll is bound by these sheets of seaweed. Nori that has been toasted is the most suitable in terms of texture and flavor.
Veggies:
- Add crispy colored vegetables such as carrots, cucumber & bell peppers. Slice them into thin strips so that they can roll.
Avocado:
- Provides creaminess. Select an avocado that is firm yet ripe, because you do not want the avocado to mash easily.
Tofu/Tempeh:
- Not compulsory, but it gives some protein and a bit of bite. Pan-fry to improve the taste.
Soy Sauce/Tamari:
- Consume the low-sodium ones. Tamari is not glutenous.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Give the sushi rice a thorough water rinse.
- To cook the rice, adhere to the package’s directions.
- Stir in salt, sugar, and rice vinegar while still warm. Allow it to cool.
- Spread the sheet out on the sushi mat, shiny side down.
- Apply a thin coating of rice to the nori using wet fingers. At the top edge, leave 1 inch.
- Arrange the bell pepper, avocado, cucumber, carrot, and tofu (if using) in the middle.
- Using the mat as support, begin rolling from the bottom.
- Keep it in a sealed box.
- Set the edge with the water.
- Give the roll two minutes to sit seam-side down.
- Using a wet, sharp knife, cut into 6–8 pieces.
- You can provide this with pickled ginger & soy sauce.
TIPS:
- Moisten your hands to avoid rice stickiness.
- Maintain the roll from being overloaded. Sealing will be challenging.
- Having a mat, place plastic wrap on it to clean it.
- Make the rolls cool before cutting the slices.
- Spice it up with mango, sprouts/shredded cabbage.
STORAGE INFORMATION:
FRIDGE:
- Keep leftover rolls in an airtight sealed container. Store for at least 24 hours. Rice may harden slightly, so eat fresh if feasible.
FREEZER:
- Not advised. Vegetables and rice lose their texture when frozen. Make fresh every time.
FAQs:
Can I use ordinary rice with sushi rice?
- It won’t be as sticky, though. To help it hold, add a little extra vinegar.
Is a bamboo mat necessary?
- No. You can use a clean towel or just roll by hand.
Can I add sauces inside the roll?
- Yes. Try a little vegan mayo or sriracha for spice.
Can kids eat these?
- Yes. Just skip the wasabi and use soft veggies.
What’s a good dipping sauce?
- Soy sauce or tamari is classic. Mix with a dash of rice vinegar or chili oil for extra flavor.
