Wheat-free Cucumber And Avocado Sushi

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • 2 large cucumbers, julienned
  • 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 strainer until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's 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 and let the mixture cool.
  3. Transfer the cooked rice to a large wooden or glass bowl. Gently fold in the vinegar mixture, being careful not to mash the rice. 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 a few slices of avocado and julienned cucumber in the center of the rice. Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi into a tight cylinder.
  6. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  7. Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi rolls into 6 pieces each. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
