Avocado Maki
Description
This recipe starts by preparing sushi rice cooked to the correct sticky consistency. A sheet of nori is placed shiny side down on a bamboo rolling mat, and a layer of sushi rice covers about three-quarters of the seaweed sheet. Thin avocado slices are laid along the rice's center. Using the rolling mat, the nori is tightly rolled from the bottom, sealing the roll by moistening the unrolled edge. A wet sharp knife slices the roll into 10 pieces, with rinsing the blade between cuts to prevent sticking.
The glossy side of the nori is positioned down so the rice adheres better to the rough side, enhancing presentation. If water does not seal the roll well with some nori brands, cooked rice grains can be pressed along the edge as an alternative "glue." Cooled rice should be used to prevent sogginess. Wet hands or a spoon are recommended when handling sticky sushi rice.
Ingredients
- 200 g sushi rice cooked
- 2 heet nori
- 1 avocado thinly sliced
Instructions
- Cook your sushi rice according to our Sushi Rice recipe.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo rolling mat, shiny side down. Put the cooked sushi rice onto the nori and spread to cover ¾ of the nori.
- Lay the strips of avocado halfway along the rice.
- Using a bamboo rolling mat, roll up from the bottom, tightly away from you. Leave a small amount of nori unrolled. Wet this part of the nori with water and finish rolling to seal it.
- Dip a sharp knife into some water and then slice the roll. Dip the knife into water each time you make a cut. Slice the roll into 10 pieces.
Notes
- Place the nori shiny side down for better rice adhesion and appearance.
- If water does not seal the nori edge, use cooked rice grains to seal the roll.
- Ensure sushi rice is fully cooled to avoid soggy nori.
- Wet your hands or spoon to manage sticky rice when assembling.
- Dip the knife in water between slices to prevent rice from sticking.
- Placing the rolling mat inside a zip lock bag can make cleanup easier.
- To calculate raw rice needed, divide cooked rice amount by three as a general estimate.
