Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down, and spread 1 cup cooked sushi rice evenly over the bottom 2/3 of the sheet, pressing gently to form a thin layer.
  2. Step 2: Arrange 1/2 cup julienned cucumber and 1/2 sliced avocado in a line across the center of the rice.
  3. Step 3: Lift the edge of the mat closest to you and roll firmly, tucking in the fillings as you go, until the roll is snug and sealed.
  4. Step 4: Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 4 rolls, then slice each roll into 6 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
  5. Step 5: Serve with 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp wasabi on the side for dipping, ensuring the rice is sticky but not mushy.
