– 4 cups water
– 1/2 cup rice vinegar
– 2 tbsp sugar
– 1 tsp salt
– Nori sheets
– Thinly sliced avocado
– Thinly sliced cucumber
– Carrots cut into matchsticks
– Red bell pepper cut into strips
– Purple cabbage shredded
– Sesame seeds
– Soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi for serving
Instructions:
1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Then, cook the rice according to package instructions or in a rice cooker with 4 cups of water.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the seasoned rice vinegar using a wooden spoon. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
4. Place a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a flat surface and put a sheet of nori shiny side down on the mat.
5. Wet your hands slightly and grab a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly on the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch gap at the top.
6. Arrange your desired fillings (avocado, cucumber, carrots, bell pepper, purple cabbage) in a row in the center of the rice.
7. Carefully roll the sushi using the bamboo mat, keeping the fillings in place while applying gentle pressure. Seal the roll by moistening the edge of the nori sheet.
8. Sprinkle sesame seeds on the top of the roll and slice it into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.
9. Serve the vegan rainbow sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side for dipping.
