Vegetarian Sushi, the experiment goes on

This is my second attempt at vegetarian sushi, I made three Nori-rolls and I ate them all :)



Vegetarian sushi, 3 rolls
125 ml sushi rice
20 ml rice vinegar
20 ml sugar
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 carrot
1 avocado
1/3 cucumber
3 nori sheets

Rinse the rice under water until the fluid is more clear than when you started. Put it in water in a saucepan. Let it stand for about 1 hour. After 1 hour put the lid on and let it stand for about 45 min-1 hour. 
Rinse the rice under water until the fluid is clear, this might take a few minutes. Normally I loose my patience and stop rinsing it when the fluid is semi-clear. Put the rice back in the saucepan and cover with water, let the water be about 1 cm higher than the rice. Bring it to the boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 4-5 min. Bring the heat down even more and let it simmer under a lid for another 4-5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and let it stand for 10 min. 

Time for the vinegar-mixture. Put vinegar, sugar and salt in a small saucepan, put it on low heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Let the mixture cool a bit. Put the rice in a bowl. Mix the rice and the vinegar. Let it stand for about 20 min. 

Slice carrot, avocado and cucumber. 

Put a nori sheet on a plane surface on a baking paper (or a sushi mat). Put 1/3 of the rice on a nori sheet, spread it evenly , leave a bit of the nori paper empty. Put cucumber, carrot and avocado slices on the rice. Start rolling, keep it tight! When you reach the empty part, put cold water on it, this will act as clue. Use the baking paper to make it a tight roll. Repeat with a new nori sheet until you're out of rice. 

Serve with soy mixed with some wasabi.
