Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook white sushi rice (2 cup) in a rice cooker with water added to the appropriate line.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine white rice vinegar (0.25 cup), white sugar (1.5 tbsp), and fine salt (1 tsp), then fold the mixture into the warm cooked rice.

  3. 3

    Prepare the fillings by slicing cucumber (1), avocado (1), carrot (1), and smoked firm tofu (0.5 block) into long strips, alongside kanpyo (4) and yellow pickled daikon (4).

  4. 4

    Place nori sheets (1 slice) smooth-side down on a bamboo mat and spread a thin layer of seasoned rice over the surface, leaving a 2cm border at the top.

  5. 5

    Arrange the firm fillings like smoked firm tofu (0.5 block) and yellow pickled daikon (4) at the bottom and roll tightly using the mat.

  6. 6

    Using a sharp, wet knife, slice the roll straight down the middle to create two handheld pieces.
