Cucumber / Avocado Roll

Sorry for the picture quality, I took it with my iphone :P

This was surprisingly quick and easy because I already had rice made!

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup white sushi rice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 pinch of sugar
  • 2 sheets of nori (dry seaweed)
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced
  • Ginger
  • Wasabi
  • Soy Sauce

1. Add the vinegar, salt and sugar to the warm sushi rice and make cutting motions in the rice to mix.
2. Cover a bamboo sushi mat with plastic wrap to keep the rice from sticking. Place a sheet of seaweed over the plastic. Use your hands to spread the rice evenly onto the sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch of seaweed empty at the bottom. Arrange strips of cucumber and avocado across the center of the rice. Lift the mat and roll over the vegetables once and press down. Unroll, then roll again towards the exposed end of the seaweed sheet to make a long roll. You may moisten with a little water to help seal. Set aside and continue with remaining nori sheets, rice and fillings.

3. Use a sharp wet knife to slice the rolls into 5 or 6 slices. Serve cut side up with your favorite sushi condiments. (I used ginger and seaweed salad)
