We can’t possibly hope to perfect the skill with a single recipe post, but I can certainly help you make great sushi rolls at home with a few basic techniques.

I make these vegan avocado rolls to satisfy the sushi cravings of my pregnant sister-in-law. We even made a batch of sushi rolls together at a family gathering.

But, I also have an oversupply of avo. We have a small avocado tree in the yard that supplies us with hundreds of avocados (in addition to my dad’s massive avo tree with an even larger yield).

And as much as I love my avo toast, a girl needs some avo variation in her cooking repertoire. So, why not have some fun with avocado sushi rolls?

They are the easiest sushi rolls to make at home. Simply wrap roasted nori seaweed tightly around sushi rice and a filling to form a log. And slice it into even bite-sized pieces.

Translates to “thin roll” and typically consists of only one filling ingredient. It has seaweed on the outside around the rice, unlike California or inside-out rolls with rice on the outside.

In this easy sushi recipe, we focus on homemade avocado hosomaki. But you can easily swap the avocado for another single filling.

And once you have the technique down, you can try some thick maki rolls or learn how to roll inside-out sushi rolls (uramaki).

But they’re also affordable and easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. It’s the perfect recipe to hone your sushi-making skills before you move to more difficult rolls and expensive ingredients.

California Sushi Rolls Recipe

When you serve these avocado sushi rolls to friends with dietary requirements, be mindful of the condiments you serve alongside. Remember, soy sauce is not gluten-free (use tamari instead).

And always take care not to contaminate your knife and cutting board. If you serve these avocado sushi rolls alongside raw fish, be sure to process the avocado sushi rolls first.

The roasted seaweed sheets are ​​approximately ​18 cm × 20 cm (7 in × 8 in). For thin sushi rolls (hosomaki), we cut the sheets in half along the long side. So each nori sheet will produce two 18 cm × 10 cm (7 in × 4 in) pieces.

Nori seaweed sheets have a rough side and a smooth side. The smooth side should be on the outside of our finished hosomaki. So we spread the prepared sushi rice on the rough side.

Sushi rice is a sticky short-grain rice seasoned with a sushi vinegar mixture. But you can also use medium-grain rice. One cup of uncooked sushi rice yields roughly two and a half cups of cooked rice.

Cook one cup of raw sushi rice per package instructions and season it with three tablespoons of shop-bought sushi vinegar or a homemade vinegar mixture.

Avocado is not an authentic Japanese sushi ingredient – avocado rolls and California rolls are a Japanese invention from the 1970s in the US. Though the popularity of avocado in sushi quickly caught on in the West.

Use perfectly ripe and creamy avocado for these vegan sushi rolls. You can also try it with cucumber batons or carrot sticks instead.

You can cover your bamboo sushi mat in cling film. It makes cleaning easier. But it’s not strictly necessary for these veggie sushi rolls that have nori on the outside.

For hosomaki (thin rolls), we need to cut the nori seaweed sheets in half. Nori sheets are not perfectly square – they are ​​approximately ​18 cm × 20 cm (7 in × 8 in). Cut your nori sheet in half by cutting the longer side in half.

Peel and slice your avocado into thin strips. I cut mine into ½ inch (1 cm) thick strips. But it’s easier to roll the sushi when the avocado slices are thin.

Place the half sheet of nori towards the bottom of your bamboo mat with the longest edge facing you. The rough side should be facing up, so the smooth, shiny side is on the outside of the roll.

Gently spread the rice, using wet hands, to cover the nori all the way from the left edge to the right. Leave an exposed strip of nori – about ½ inch (1 cm) – at the top and a thin strip at the bottom. Dip your fingers in water if the rice sticks to your hands.

Next, place your avocado slices along the centre of the rice horizontally. You want a neat strip of avocado horizontally across the rice.

Slide the nori sheet all the way to the bottom of the sushi mat. And lift the bottom edge of the mat to gently roll the nori around the avo, connecting the rice. Keep your fingers on the avocado as you roll to keep it in place.

You’ll see the top part of the seaweed sticking out. Dip your finger in the water and run it along the exposed seaweed at the top.

Continue to roll until it seals. Allow that exposed nori at the top to fold over the outside of the roll as the rice connects.

Then lay the two half-rolls in parallel and cut them together into 3 pieces each. Wipe the knife clean between slices or once it feels sticky.

Or make thick sushi rolls with both avocado and cucumber batons. Place the cucumber slices next to the row of avocado slices. Don’t cut your nori sheets in half for these thick rolls, or you will run out of space.

Or add a dollop of kewpie mayo (or vegan mayo if needed) on each piece of sushi and sprinkle it with toasted sesame seeds. It is a great way to disguise imperfect (but delicious) sushi rolls.

Bacon Avocado Cucumber Sushi Rolls

But vegetarian sushi rolls from sushi restaurants are not recommended. In the restaurant, they may use the same knife or cutting board to slice raw fish. And this increases the risk of contamination with harmful bacteria.

Yes, these avocado sushi rolls are gluten-free. But keep in mind that soy sauce contains
