1

Measure 1 cup of sushi rice and add it to a pot.

2

Add 1 and 1/4 cups of water to the pot with the rice.

3

Bring the pot to a boil with the lid on, then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes.

4

After 20 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit covered for 5 minutes.

5

In a bowl, mix plain unseasoned rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved to make seasoned vinegar.

6

Once the rice has cooled slightly, scoop it onto a platter and drizzle with half of the vinegar mixture, tossing gently to combine.

7

Prepare vegetables: slice red bell pepper into thin strips, cut carrot into thin strips, and score avocado without scooping it out.

8

Cut cucumber into strips about the same length as the nori sheets, which are approximately six inches square.

9

Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat, and wet your hands to prevent sticking.

10

Spread about half a cup of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

11

Layer the prepared vegetables evenly across the rice, keeping them in a straight line.

12

Roll the sushi tightly away from you using the bamboo mat, applying gentle pressure to form a cylinder.

13

Seal the edge of the nori with a bit of water to hold it together.

14

Use a sharp knife to cut the roll in half, then cut each half into four equal pieces for a total of eight pieces.

15

Serve sushi with wasabi, soy sauce, and pickled ginger on the side.
