Ingredients
- 200g (7oz) sushi rice
- 250ml (1 cup) water
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 sheets of nori (seaweed)
- 200g (7oz) cooked turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- Soy sauce, for serving
- Pickled ginger, for serving
- Wasabi, for serving
Method of Preparation
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or a pot. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
- Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
- Wet your hands to prevent the rice from sticking, then spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- Arrange a line of turkey slices, avocado, cucumber, and carrot across the middle of the rice.
- Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori and rice over the filling, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Using a sharp, wet knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
- Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
Tips for Culinary Success
- Use a sharp knife dipped in water to prevent sticking when slicing the rolls.
- Ensure the sushi rice is at room temperature before assembling the rolls for the best texture.
- Customize the filling by adding ingredients like cream cheese, bell peppers, or lettuce for added crunch and flavor.
