Time 25m

Yield 6 Rolls, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup short-grain brown rice
1 cup water
1 teaspoon water
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon wasabi powder
nori
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/16-inch-thick matchsticks
1/2 carrot, cut into 1/16-inch-thick matchsticks
1/2 small avocado
3/4 ounce radish sprouts

Steps:

  • Rinse rice well and bring to a boil with 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan, then reduce heat to very low and simmer, tightly covered, until water is absorbed, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat and let rice stand, covered, 10 minutes.
  • While rice is standing, stir together vinegar and remaining teaspoon soy sauce.
  • Transfer rice to a wide nonmetal bowl (preferably wood, ceramic, or glass) and sprinkle with vinegar mixture, tossing gently with a large spoon to combine. Cool rice, tossing occasionally, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir together wasabi and remaining teaspoon water to form a stiff paste. Let stand at least 15 minutes (to allow flavors to develop).
  • Place sushi mat on a work surface with slats running crosswise. Arrange 1 sheet nori, shiny side down, on mat, lining up a long edge of sheet with edge of mat nearest you. Using damp fingers, gently press half of rice (about 3/4 cup) onto nori in 1 layer, leaving a 1 3/4-inch border on side farthest from you.
  • Arrange half of cucumber in an even strip horizontally across rice, starting 1 inch from side nearest you. (You may need to cut pieces to fit from side to side.) Arrange half of carrot just above cucumber in same manner. Peel avocado half and cut lengthwise into thin slices, then arrange half of slices just above carrot in same manner. Repeat with radish sprouts, letting some sprout tops extend beyond edge.
  • Beginning with edge nearest you, lift mat up with your thumbs, holding filling in place with your fingers, and fold mat over filling so that upper and lower edges of rice meet, then squeeze gently but firmly along length of roll, tugging edge of mat farthest from you to tighten. (Nori border will still be flat on mat.) Open mat and roll log forward to seal with nori border. (Moisture from rice will seal roll.) Transfer roll, seam side down, to a cutting board. Make second log in same manner, then cut each log crosswise into 6 pieces with a wet thin-bladed knife. Serve with wasabi paste, soy sauce, and ginger.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my sushi rolls fell apart when I tried to cut them.

These sushi rolls were easy to make and turned out great. I used brown rice instead of white rice and they were still delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.

These sushi rolls were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra seasoning next time.
