Easy Avocado Sushi Roll (Japanese Maki Sushi Recipe)

Equipment
- 1 Makisu (Bamboo sushi mat), (You can also use cling wrap to roll sushi.)
Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Divide a nori sheet in half with the lines on the seaweed using your hand or scissors. Slice the avocado into even 1cm (1/2-inch) wide slices.
- Make Sushi Rice: Blend rice vinegar, salt, and sugar well in a small bowl. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl, and gradually pour the vinegar mixture over the rice while gently mixing it with a rice paddle.
- Assemble: Place the nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat. Evenly spread the rice on the nori sheet using your hand or rice paddle. Leave 1 cm (about half an inch) of the nori uncovered at the top. Place two avocado slices in the center of the rice.
- Roll: Align the seaweed with the bottom edge of the sushi mat. Use your middle finger to hold down the avocado, lift the mat with your thumb, and start rolling from the front until the end of the rice. Apply gentle pressure to shape the roll.
- Cut the Sushi Roll: Wet the knife with the damp cloth and cut the sushi roll in half. Align the two halves of the sushi rolls and cut them into thirds.

Notes
- If the sushi rice is still hot, you can use a paper fan to cool it down to room temperature.
- Use around 70-80g of rice for each roll as a guide to avoid overflow when rolling.
- When spreading the rice, ensure it is evenly distributed on the nori sheet.
- Nori sheets have a shiny side and a rough side. When placing the nori sheet, ensure that the shiny side is facing down.
