Avocado Maki
Avocado Maki is a simple sushi roll featuring cooked sushi rice and thinly sliced avocado wrapped in nori seaweed. The roll is tightly formed using a bamboo mat and sliced into bite-sized pieces. The cool, creamy avocado contrasts with the slightly sticky rice and crisp seaweed for a balanced texture and mild flavor.

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.
