Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 2 cups Sushi Rice
  • 4 sheets Nori Sheets
  • 3 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • 2 pieces Large Avocado
  • 1 piece English Cucumber
  • 4 strips Takuan (Pickled Daikon)
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetarian Unagi Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Pickled Ginger(optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Wasabi Paste(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the sushi rice until water runs clear, cook according to package instructions, and fold in rice vinegar while warm.

  2. 2

    Place a half-sheet of nori on a bamboo rolling mat covered with plastic wrap.

  3. 3

    Spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, then flip it over so the rice is facing down.

  4. 4

    Place thin strips of cucumber and takuan horizontally across the center of the nori.

  5. 5

    Roll the bamboo mat tightly to form a cylinder, ensuring the filling is enclosed.

  6. 6

    Thinly slice the avocado and layer the slices overlapping on top of the roll to resemble caterpillar scales.

  7. 7

    Place the plastic wrap back over the avocado-covered roll and use the bamboo mat to gently press the avocado onto the rice.

  8. 8

    Slice the roll into 8 pieces using a very sharp, wet knife, then drizzle with vegetarian unagi sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
