Avocado Maki Sushi
- 2 pieces Nori Seaweeds
- 1 cup Sushi Rice
- 5 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 1/3 tablespoon Sugar
- 1/3 teaspoon Salt
- 1 piece Avocado
- 1/2 cup Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Wasabi paste
- 1/2 cup Pickled Ginger
- 1 piece Bamboo Mat
- Alternatively, you can use Sushi rice seasoning powder.
- Wash the rice with running water for at least 1-2 minutes until there is no more starch coming out of it. Place it gently in a pot, add a little bit more water then the rice (the ration should be about 1.15:1). Don't put too much water otherwise you'll get dough instead of rice.
- The rice should be cooked on high heat at first. Stir every minute or two, until the water boils. Then, lower the heat to minimum and cover the pot.
- After 6-8 minutes, check the water - if there is no more water that means that the rice is done.
- When the rice is cooked turn off the heat and gently put the rice in a separate bowl. Use a wooden spoon to take the rice out if needed. Add vinegar, sugar and salt and stir well and let it aside to chill.
- After the rice is cooled down take one sheet of seaweed and cut it on half (you can use scissors). Put the one half on a bamboo mat. With a wooden spoon take a little bit of rice and place it on a seaweed sheet. Gently spread the rice on whole seaweed leaving a free line 1cm from the top.
- Cut the avocado into thin slices and place 1-2 slices into middle down bottom on a full length of the sheets.
- And now very gently roll the sushi helping yourself with the bamboo mat. And there you have it :)
