Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sushi rice cooked and seasoned with rice vinegar
  • 1 sheet nori seaweed
  • ¼ cucumber julienned
  • ¼ avocado sliced
  • ¼ carrot julienned
  • 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce for dipping
  • Bamboo sushi mat optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sushi Rice:

  • Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions and season with rice vinegar. Let it cool to room temperature.

Prepare the Vegetables:

  • Julienne the cucumber and carrot, and slice the avocado into thin strips.

Assemble the Maki Roll:

  • Place a sheet of nori onto a bamboo sushi mat (or a clean surface). Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top free of rice. Lay the cucumber, avocado, and carrot in the center of the rice.

Roll the Sushi:

  • Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi from the bottom up, pressing lightly to keep it tight. Seal the edge with a little water.

Slice and Serve:

  • Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Serve with low sodium soy sauce for dipping.
