Easy Cucumber Sushi Fresh and Tasty Recipe Guide

Ingredients

• 2 large cucumbers
• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.5 cups water
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 whole avocado, sliced
• 1 small carrot, julienned
• 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
• to taste soy sauce, for dipping
• to taste sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to the rice cooker instructions or simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
2. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl. In a small saucepan, heat rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour the mixture over the rice and gently fold to combine. Allow cooling to room temperature.
3. Wash the cucumbers, and using a vegetable peeler or spiralizer, create long, thin strips of cucumber. Set aside.
4. Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a cutting board, shiny side down. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch of nori at the top edge.
5. On the rice, horizontally lay a few slices of avocado, carrots, and a few cucumber strips.
6. Starting from the bottom, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
8. Once all rolls are made, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife with water between cuts to get cleaner edges.
9. Sprinkle sesame seeds over sushi pieces for added flavor.
