Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup cooked shrimp
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup diced mango
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (for a kick!)
- Soy sauce and lime wedges for dipping
Instructions
- Start by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Then, cook it according to the package instructions.
- In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for 30 seconds, stirring until dissolved. Mix this with the cooked rice, letting it cool.
- Lay out a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat (or a clean surface), shiny side down. Then, grab a handful of rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge.
- Place your fillings—slices of avocado, shrimp, cilantro, mango, and jalapeño—across the center of the rice. Feel free to mix and match like a kitchen DJ!
- Now comes the fun part: roll it up! Use the mat to help you lift the edge of the nori closest to you and gently roll it over the filling, tucking it in as you go. Keep rolling until you reach the bare edge. Wet it with a bit of water to seal the roll.
- Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife (it’s best if you wet the knife to prevent sticking).
- Serve with soy sauce and lime wedges on the side for that extra zing! Grab your chopsticks, or just use your hands—it’s that casual!
Now you have all the tools you need to bring some Mexican flair to your sushi night! Enjoy the delicious combination of flavors, and don’t forget to impress your friends with your culinary skills. Or at least your attempt at fancy plating!
