Avocado Sushi

Cultural Context

Avocado sushi, particularly popular outside Japan, reflects the fusion of traditional Japanese sushi with global ingredients. Avocado, originally introduced in California, adds a creamy texture that complements the vinegared rice. While not a traditional ingredient in classic sushi, it has become a beloved option in many sushi restaurants worldwide, showcasing the evolving nature of culinary traditions.

Wash 2 cups of sushi rice in a bowl with cold water until the water runs clear.

2

Cook the rice according to your rice cooker directions.

3

Transfer the cooked rice to a large mixing bowl while still hot.

4

Sprinkle the entire bag of Sushi Nole seasoning on the hot rice and mix using a slicing motion until well combined, ensuring the individual grains of rice are still visible.

5

Let the seasoned rice cool a little before making the sushi.

6

Slice the avocado in half lengthwise, twist to separate, and score the avocado into little slices.

7

Use a large spoon to scoop the avocado out of its skin.

8

Take a large sheet of nori, fold it in half to create two pieces, and place one piece shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat.

9

Spread a thin layer of the seasoned rice on the nori using dampened fingertips, making sure not to put too much rice.

10

Add a couple of slices of avocado about 1/3 from the bottom of the roll.

11

Roll the sushi tightly from the bottom using the mat, holding in the filling and applying a solid squeeze as you roll.

12

Wipe a sharp knife with a damp towel and cut the sushi roll into six equal pieces.

13

Arrange the sushi on a plate with the pretty side up.
