Follow The Directions

01

Step

1 mins

Prepare the Rice: Gently warm the precooked brown rice in a microwave-safe bowl, covered partially, for about 1 minute, until heated through. This step enhances the rice's texture and flavor. (1 minute)

02

Step

0 mins

Assemble the Rolls: Place one sheet of nori on your bamboo mat, ensuring it's positioned for easy rolling. Moisten your hands lightly with water to prevent sticking, then spread half of the warmed rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a small border at the top edge. Arrange half of the cucumber and carrot strips across the rice. (5 minutes)

03

Step

20 mins

Roll and Repeat: Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori sheet tightly around the rice and vegetables, applying gentle pressure to form a compact roll. Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheet, rice, and vegetables. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Chill and Slice: For easier slicing and enhanced flavor, wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the rolls to firm up. (20 minutes)

05

Step

Serve: Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and, using a sharp, dampened knife, slice each roll into 6 equal pieces. Serve immediately with wasabi and soy sauce for dipping, if desired.

For best results, use short-grain brown rice, as it tends to be stickier and easier to work with.
Experiment with other vegetables such as avocado, bell peppers, or sprouts to customize your sushi.
To prevent the rice from sticking to your knife when slicing, dampen the blade with water between cuts.
If you don't have a bamboo mat, you can use a clean kitchen towel to help roll the sushi.
