Ingredients
- 2 cups brown rice
- 4 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets nori seaweed
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- Soy sauce, for dipping
- Pickled ginger, for serving
- Wasabi, for serving
Directions
- Cook the brown rice according to package instructions.
- In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and drizzle the vinegar mixture over it. Gently fold the rice to evenly distribute the vinegar.
- On a bamboo sushi mat, place a sheet of nori seaweed. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then spread about 1/2 cup of the seasoned brown rice evenly on the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- Arrange avocado, cucumber, and bell pepper slices in a line across the center of the rice.
- Using the sushi mat, roll the nori tightly into a cylindrical shape, applying gentle pressure to secure the filling. Wet the border of the nori with water to seal the roll.
- Repeat the process to make three more rolls.
- Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve the avocado sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
- Enjoy your homemade avocado sushi with brown rice!
