- 1 cup short-grain sushi rice
- 1.25 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed paper)
- 1/2 lb sushi-grade raw fish (like salmon or tuna), cut into strips
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- 2 carrots, julienned
- 1 cucumber, seeded and julienned
- Optional: Spicy mayo for drizzling
- Rinse the sushi rice until the water runs clear.
- Cook the rice with the water according to package directions or in a rice cooker.
- In a small saucepan, gently heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Slowly fold in the vinegar mixture until the rice is evenly seasoned and cooled slightly.
- Lay one sheet of nori on a bamboo rolling mat.
- Moisten your hands slightly. Spread about 1/2 cup of seasoned rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
- Arrange strips of fish, avocado slices, carrots, and cucumber in a line across the center of the rice.
- If using, drizzle a thin line of spicy mayo over the fillings.
- To roll, lift the edge of the mat closest to you. Fold the edge over the fillings, tucking it in tightly.
- Continue rolling, using the mat to keep the burrito firm. Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the wrap.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Slice each burrito in half diagonally before serving.
Notes
- Use very sharp knives when slicing the fish and vegetables for clean edges.
- Keep your hands damp while spreading the rice to prevent sticking.
- Experiment with fillings like cooked shrimp, imitation crab, or cream cheese.
