Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions.
- While the rice is cooking, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Let it cool.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
- Place a sheet of nori seaweed on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
- Arrange a few slices of fish, avocado, cucumber, and carrot in a line across the rice.
- Using the bamboo mat, tightly roll the sushi, applying gentle pressure to ensure it holds its shape. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
- With a sharp knife, slice the sushi rolls into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce and wasabi for dipping.
