Ingredients

  • 1 cup short-grain rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 oz cucumber  cut into 1/2 inch strips
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 6 nori sheets
  • 2 ripe avocados peeled and pitted, cut into 1/2 inch slices
  • 4 oz microgreens
  • 1 tbsp black sesame seeds toasted

Instructions

  • Rinse the rice to remove excess starch. Combine the rice with the 3 cups of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer for 10-12 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed. Remove from heat and leave covered for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked rice into a large bowl, add rice vinegar, and stir to combine. Set aside to cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, add the cucumber, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil and mix to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Place one nori sheet, shiny side down, on a clean sushi mat. Gently press 3/4 of a cup of the cooked rice in an even, ¼-inch layer, leaving ½ an inch on the sides.
  • Top with the avocado slices and marinated cucumber strips across the center of the rice and top with the microgreens.
  • Lift one edge of the nori sheet with the mat and fold. Gently but tightly roll once more and secure. Continue with the remaining nori sheets.
  • Use a very sharp knife to cut each roll into 1-inch pieces. Line the rolls in a single layer on a plate.
  • Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce or tamari.
