If you are hosting a party and some of your guests do not like seafood, you can still treat them to delicious sushi. Among the easiest types of sushi to make are avocado rolls. Once you master making avocado rolls, it will be a snap for you to embellish them with fish such as salmon or spicy tuna and make up your own sushi recipes.
Instructions
Make Rice for Your Sushi Rolls
1. Wash the rice several times until the water is clear. After the rice is cleaned thoroughly, add the rice and water to a pot and heat it until the water simmers. Remove the rice from the heat when the rice is tender and set it aside.
2. Mix the rice vinegar with the sugar and salt. Heat the mixture in a saucepan, but do not boil it.
3. Combine the vinegar mixture with the rice and allow it to cool. The resulting sushi rice can be used to make avocado rolls and other types of sushi rolls.
Prepare Your Avocado Rolls for Serving
4. Place a single sheet of nori on top of the plastic wrap, which in turn should be placed on the bamboo sushi mat. Cover the nori with a thin layer of sushi rice, leaving a thin strip of the nori uncovered. This will be used to seal the roll after filling it with avocado.
5. Julienne the avocado. Place strips of avocado in the center of the nori so that the avocado runs the width of the nori.
6. Roll up the nori, creating a tube of rice and nori around the avocado. You can use a bit of rice vinegar to help the uncovered edge of nori adhere to the other side of the roll. Firmly squeeze the roll to ensure that it is tightly packed.
7. Slice the avocado roll into multiple pieces. You can make as many as eight pieces from a single avocado roll.
8. Serve with pickled ginger and wasabi on the side.
