Easy Sushi


One of those evenings that I don't feel like hot meals.. These sushi were made with a spur moment with whatever I have in the kitchen..by the time I prepared all ingredients.. My hunger level has increased rapidly, as you can see the filling wasn't even in the middle! .. tasted good and satisfied my hunger anyway :)

Ingredients

3 cups cooked sushi rice or short grain rice (cooked by rice cooker or microwave rice cooker)
3 tbs  rice vinegar
3 tbs of caster sugar
11/2 tsp salt
5 sheets of nori (dried seaweed sheets for sushi)
10 crab sticks or seafood (surimi) sticks
1/2 cucumber peeled, cut into small stripes
1 small avocado, cut into small stripes
A bamboo sushi mat
Soy sauce
Wasabi 


In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar and salt. Blend the mixture into the cooked rice.

Centre one sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands, spread a thin layer of rice on the sheet of nori, and press into a thin layer. 

Arrange 1/4 of the cucumber,  avocado and crab stick in a line down the centre of the rice. Lift the end of the mat, and gently roll it over the ingredients, pressing gently. Roll it forward to make a complete roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Cut each roll into 4 to 6 slices using a wet, sharp knife. Serve immediately with soy sauce and wasabi.
