Avocado Sushi Roll

Place the rice into a strainer and wash under cold running water until the water becomes clear.

Transfer the rice to a pot with the 3½ cups of water. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat, stir, cover and cook on a low heat for 10-15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is soft.

While the rice is still hot add the vinegar, sugar and salt and gently stir through the rice.

Spread the rice in an even layer on a baking tray to cool.

Lay a sushi mat on a flat surface with the bamboo sticks running horizontally.

Next, place a nori sheet with the shiny side down on top of the sushi mat.

Spread ½ - ⅔ cup of cooked rice over the nori sheet in an even layer, leaving about a ½ an inch of space at the edge furthest away from you.

Arrange a layer of sliced avocado down the center of the rice.

Take the edge of the sushi mat closest to you and begin to roll it over the avocado.

Using your hands, tuck and roll the sushi firmly to form a long roll.
