Vegetarian Sushi is a popular dish that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It’s a combination of vinegared sushi rice and a variety of vegetables and other plant-based ingredients such as avocado, cucumber, and pickled ginger. It’s a great option for vegetarians and people who are looking for a healthy, low-calorie meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sushi rice
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar

• 6-8 sheets of nori seaweed
• 1 avocado, thinly sliced
• 1 cucumber, thinly sliced

Instructions:

1. Rinse the sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear.

6. Place a sheet of nori seaweed on a sushi mat or a clean surface with the shiny side facing down.
7. Spread a thin layer of the rice mixture over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
8. Arrange the avocado, cucumber and pickled ginger on top of the rice.
9. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat or your hands.
