Instructions
- Lay a sheet of nori seaweed on a clean, flat surface, shiny side down.
- Spread a layer of cooked sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- In the center of the rice, arrange the sliced avocado, cucumber, carrot, and shredded red cabbage in a line.
- Top the vegetables with your choice of sushi-grade raw fish or cooked protein.
- Add a touch of wasabi for heat and flavor, if desired.
- Starting from the bottom, roll the sushi burrito tightly, using a bamboo sushi mat or your hands to help shape it. Make sure to keep the filling compact.
- Once rolled, gently press the burrito to seal it. You can moisten the edge of the nori with a little water to help it stick.
- Slice the sushi burrito in half or into smaller bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife.
- Serve immediately with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and extra wasabi on the side for dipping.
Tips
- Feel free to customize the fillings based on your preference! Try adding ingredients like bell peppers, sprouts, or even cream cheese.
- For a vegan option, substitute the fish with marinated tofu or tempeh and add extra avocado for creaminess.
- If you're making these ahead of time, wrap them in parchment paper to keep them fresh.
