1
½ c. Sushi rice
2 Tbl. Seasoned rice vinegar
1 Avacado
1 sm Lebanese cucumber
8 sheets Nori, cut in half on the diagonal
1 tsp Wasabi paste
80 g Pickled ginger
16 medium Prawns, cooked, peeled and de-veined
Soy sauce to serve
Instructions
Place
the rice in a sieve and rinse under running
cold water. Set aside and drain for 1 hour.
Place the drained rice in a large saucepan and
add 1 ½ cups water. Cover and bring to
the boil, then reduce the heat to very low and
cook, tightly covered for 15 minutes. Removed
from the heat and leave the lid on for 10 min.

Transfer
the rice to a large shallow bowl and drizzle with
the vinegar. Fold the vinegar through the rice, tossing
lightly with a large metal spoon or spatula to cool
as you combine. Do not use a stirring action; it will
make the rice mushy.
Quarter
and peel the avocado and cut each quarter into four
long wedges. Trim the ends of the cucumber, then cut
lengthways into 16 strips. Hold a sheet of nori shiny-side
down flat in your hand, place 2 Tbl. of rice on the
left hand side and spread out over half the nori sheet.
Dab with a little wasabi and top with some pickled
ginger. Place a strip each of avocado and cucumber
on the rice and top with one prawn. Roll up the nori
to form a cone, enclosing the smaller end. Repeat,
using all the ingredients. Serve with soy sauce.
Note:
Depending on the Nori you may want to dab a little
water on the inside to soften the sheet.
