Equipment

  • 1 bamboo mat

Ingredients

For Sushi rice -

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1.5 cup water
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar

Other Ingredients -

  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/2 cup crispy onions
  • 4 tbsp kimchi mayo
  • 4 sushi nori sheets

Instructions

  • Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1.5 cups of water.
  • Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix rice wine vinegar, salt, and sugar. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
  • Slice the avocado.Get those crispy onions ready—extra crunch is always a good idea!
  • Prepare a bowl of kimchi mayo for that flavorful kick.
  • Place a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a clean surface. Lay a sheet of sushi nori, shiny side down, on the mat.
  • Wet your fingers to prevent sticking and spread about 1 cup of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
  • Arrange avocado slices and sprinkle crispy onions along the center of the rice. Drizzle some kimchi mayo over the fillings.
  • Lift the edge of the mat closest to you with both hands, and begin rolling away from you, enclosing the fillings. Apply a bit of pressure to shape the roll.
  • Moisten the top border of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
  • Using a sharp, wet knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife between cuts to keep it neat.
  • Arrange your sushi pieces on a plate and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
