These Vegan Sushi Rolls are a colorful and nutritious twist on traditional sushi, featuring vibrant vegetables and creamy avocado wrapped in fluffy rice. Perfect for a light lunch or a fun dinner, they are both delicious and satisfying.

Ingredients

• Sushi rice - 150 grams
• Nori sheets - 4 sheets
• Cucumber - 1 medium, julienned
• Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
• Avocado - 1 ripe, sliced
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, julienned
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Rice vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (optional)
• Green onions - 2, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook according to package instructions.
2. Once cooked, transfer the rice to a bowl and mix in the rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt. Allow to cool to room temperature.
3. Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean surface, shiny side down.
4. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 2 cm border at the top.
5. Arrange the cucumber, carrot, avocado, and red bell pepper slices across the center of the rice.
6. Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight.
7. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water. Repeat the process with the remaining nori and filling ingredients.
8. Once all rolls are made, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces with a sharp knife, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts.
9. Serve with soy sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
