Ingredients:
– 1 cup of sushi rice
– 1 tbsp of rice vinegar
– 1 tbsp of sugar
– 1 tsp of salt
– 4 sheets of nori seaweed
– 1/2 lb of cooked and peeled shrimp
– 1 avocado
– 3 tbsp of mayonnaise
– 1 tbsp of sriracha sauce
– 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
– Soy sauce
– Wasabi paste
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the sushi rice. Rinse the rice in water until the water runs clear. Then, add the rice to a pot with 1 1/4 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Let the rice cook for 15-20 minutes.
2. While the rice is cooking, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Mix until the sugar and salt dissolve. Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and use a spatula to mix it together. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. Mix until well combined.
4. Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Slice the avocado into thin strips.
5. Lay a sheet of nori seaweed on a sushi mat with the shiny side facing down. Wet your hands with water and take a handful of sushi rice. Spread the rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
6. Flip the nori over so the rice is on the bottom. Spread a layer of the mayonnaise and sriracha mixture on top of the rice.
7. Place the shrimp, avocado, and cucumber in a line across the middle of the sushi roll.
8. Roll the sushi roll tightly using the sushi mat. Apply pressure evenly to ensure the roll is tightly packed.
9. Once the roll is complete, cut it into 6-8 equal pieces.
10. Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce and wasabi paste on the side.
