Ingredients

  • 4 sheets of nori seaweed
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces smoked eel, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Soy sauce, for serving
  • Wasabi, for serving
  • Pickled ginger, for serving

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Remove from heat.
  3. Transfer the cooked rice to a large wooden or glass bowl. Gently fold in the vinegar mixture until the rice is evenly coated. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
  4. Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
  5. Arrange the smoked eel, cucumber, and avocado in the center of the rice.
  6. Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi into a tight cylinder. Moisten the top border of the nori with water to seal the roll.
  7. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  8. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into 6 pieces each. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
