Introduction

Easy, delicious and HEALTHY sushi!!! Easy, delicious and HEALTHY sushi!!!
Number of Servings: 1

Ingredients

    Clean, dry grocery bag
    1/4 cup freshly boiled rice (must be still hot)
    1 sheet Nori, untoasted
    1/8 avocado, sliced into fingers
    2 baby carrots, quartered lengthwise
    1 slice of cucumber (about as big around as pinkie finger and as long as sheet of Nori)
    6 medium frozen shrimp, cooked
    1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce

Directions

Turn a burner on high and wave the Nori sheet over it several times to lightly toast it. This will help to bring out the flavor! Set aside on a flat, dry surface.
Cut all vegatables into thin strips and set aside - be sure to cover avocado until right before use as they will turn brown if exposed to air.
Quarter baby carrots lengthwise into 'matchsticks.'
Defost frozen, pre-cooked, deveined and peeled shrimp; set aside.
Place Nori on clean, dry grocery bag and spread hot rice over half the sheet.
Arrange shrimp and vegetables in a narrow row lengthwise. (DO NOT OVERSTUFF!! This will make it very hard to roll.) With your hands under the bag, begin to roll the sushi, starting at the end with the rice and fillings.
Try to keep it as tight as possible without ripping the sheet.
The steam/heat from the rice will make the Nori stick to itself.
Set roll aside to cool (I put mine in the fridge for a couple of minutes).
If desired, slice roll into pieces, or you can eat it like a soft taco.
Try making it with crab instead of shrimp for a California roll!!
Dip into soy sauce before eating.

    Purchase a little rice wine vinegar. When your rice is fully cooked, sprinkle it with the vinegar. Always remember to rinse rice first until water runs clear b4 cooking for the ultimate, fluffy, soft, tender rice. (Brown too.) Japanese short grain rice best for sushi. - 3/28/17

    You can also buy a bamboo roller sheet from an ethnic store or even the ethnic section of a grocery store. It is inexpensive and makes it so easy! - 8/23/11

    Nori is seaweed sheets... usually sold in the ethnic food of a grocery store. It's what keeps the roll together. - 11/13/08

    I haven't made this yet but I'm going to try! Also wanted to let ComfyGranny know that you can also find Noki Sheets in the "ethnic" food section of most grocery stores! I'm from FL and this will be a great meal to introduce to my 16 yr old step son!! - 4/16/08

    This really sounds like a yummy recipe and I can't wait to try it! Comfy Granny, nori is dried seaweed that comes in sheet form. You can find them at your local asian grocery store or health food stores. Happy eating. - 4/15/08

    The rice should be seasoned with a bit of rice vinegar and sugar... - 4/15/08

    I love making California rolls, so would definately make this. I lay a magazine sideways on my counter, place a piece of plastic wrap over it, and assemble my roll, as you roll gently pull the plastic wrap out of the crease, I find the magazine helps keep even pressure the length of the the roll. - 4/15/08

    what is Nori sheets? are they like the the thin sheets that I can get in the product department? - 4/15/08

    Have made these before. Very good & satisfying. Also lots of fun w/ kids. Make sure to use low-sodium soy sauce w/ these. If you don't want to handle hot rice, cool it & slightly dampen the nori to make it stick. - 4/15/08
