Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) sushi or short-grain rice, rinsed well
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 full nori sheets
  • 1 small cucumber, julienned
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
  • ½ cup purple cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • Pickled ginger or wasabi (optional, for serving)
  • Thin strips of marinated tofu or tempeh (optional, for extra protein)
  • Soy sauce or tamari for dipping (gluten-free tamari if needed)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 ½ cups (300g) sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. Cook rice in a rice cooker or on the stove with 1 ¾ cups (415ml) water. Let it steam for 10 minutes after cooking, then fluff gently with a fork.
  3. Mix 3 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt in a small bowl until dissolved. Warm slightly if needed.
  4. Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Spread out rice to cool quickly until sticky but not hot.
  5. Slice cucumber, carrot, purple cabbage, mango, avocado, and bell pepper into thin strips or julienne.
  6. Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a nori sheet shiny side down.
  7. Wet fingers with water and spread about ½ cup (90g) sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch gap at the top edge.
  8. Arrange a thin line of each vegetable across the center of the rice, adding avocado slices last.
  9. Roll sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, sealing the edge with a little water.
  10. Using a sharp knife dipped in water, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces, cleaning the knife between cuts.
  11. Repeat with remaining nori sheets and fillings.
  12. Serve rolls on a platter with soy sauce or tamari, and optional pickled ginger or wasabi.

Notes

Rinse rice thoroughly to remove excess starch for perfect sticky texture. Keep hands wet while spreading rice to prevent sticking. Use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice rolls cleanly. Don’t overfill rolls to keep them tight and easy to eat. Sushi rolls are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Avoid microwaving leftovers to maintain texture.
