Ingredients:
For the Sushi Rolls:
- 1 ½ cups sushi rice, rinsed and cooked
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 4 sheets of nori
- 1 small cucumber, julienned
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 yellow bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned
- ½ avocado, thinly sliced
- Handful of purple cabbage, shredded
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
For the Avocado Dip:
- 1 ripe avocado
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Rice: Once the sushi rice is cooked, stir in the rice vinegar and let it cool completely.
-
Assemble the Rolls: Lay a sheet of nori shiny-side down on a bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange cucumber, bell peppers, carrot, avocado slices, and cabbage in a neat row across the rice.
-
Roll the Sushi: Use the bamboo mat to tightly roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a firm roll. Seal the edge with a bit of water. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
-
Slice and Garnish: Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
-
Make the Avocado Dip: Blend avocado, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a food processor until smooth.
-
Serve: Plate the sushi rolls and serve alongside the creamy avocado dip.
These Rainbow Veggie Sushi Rolls are as fun to make as they are to eat. Their vibrant colours and fresh flavours make them a nutritious and delightful treat, while the avocado dip adds a creamy, tangy complement.
Optional Additions:
- Spicy Kick: Add a drizzle of sriracha or spicy mayo to the rolls.
- Crunch Factor: Include crispy tempura bits or roasted seaweed flakes.
- Protein Boost: Add tofu strips or smoked salmon.
