Instructions
- Keep the filling ingredients ready. Cook and prepare the sushi rice, boil shrimp for 5 mins, cut cucumber lengthwise and cut avocado into smaller slices.
- Cut nori seaweed into two. We will only need ½.
- Spread most of the rice (reserve about 2-3 Tbsp) over one side of the nori seaweed. Stick it to the nori sheet so that it's all an even layer.
- Turn the sheet with the rice around and spread the remaining 2-3 Tablespoons of rice over the inside part of the nori sheet too. Keep a ½ to 1 inch or 1 to 2 cm border where you don't add rice to the top and the bottom only.
- Add the mayo in a line over the rice, place shrimp, cucumber, and avocado slices over the rice so that everything fits. If you need to cut a bit of cucumber or avocado, that's ok. As long as everything is spread out equally.
- Start to roll in your sushi with the help of your bamboo mat. Gently roll and press down with both your hands until you have a tight sushi roll.
- Cut your avocado half into thin slices. It helps if you have a sharp knife.
- Place avocado slices over the sushi roll so that they are spread out a bit. That way the avocado looks like green dragon scales.
- Place a cling wrap over the avocado and the sushi mat and wrap around the avocado so that it sticks on the inside-out sushi rice. The avocado slices should be holding to the rice on the sushi roll.
- Slice your sushi roll with a sharp clean knife into 8 slices. It helps if you clean and wet your knife after every cut.
- Top with tobiko fish roe if you like and serve up.
