🍣 Rainbow Roll 🌈🍣

📝 Ingredients

2 cups sushi rice
2 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 sheets of nori (seaweed)
8 ounces fresh sashimi-grade fish (such as tuna, salmon, and yellowtail), thinly sliced
1 small cucumber, cut into thin strips
1 small carrot, cut into thin strips
1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
Soy sauce, for dipping
Wasabi, for serving
Pickled ginger, for serving

📝 Method

01.Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until it is clear. Drain thoroughly.
02.Combine the sushi rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower to a low heat and cover for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
03.Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve.
04.Pour the vinegar mixture over the cooked rice in a large mixing basin. Gently fold in the seasoning to coat the rice. Allow it to cool until it reaches room temperature.
05.Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and top it with a sheet of nori.
06.Wet your hands and sprinkle a handful of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top free of rice.
07.Arrange the cucumber, carrot, and avocado slices in the rice's center.
08.Roll the sushi firmly from the bottom, applying mild pressure to mold it into a cylinder with the bamboo mat. To seal the roll, moisten the top edge of the nori with water.
09.Cover the entire surface of the roll with the thinly cut fish.
10.Use the bamboo mat to press the fish onto the roll, ensuring it sticks.
11.Slice the rainbow roll into bite-sized pieces.
12.Serve the rainbow roll with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
