SUSHI PURE RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Make the Rice: In a medium pot, combine the rice with the water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and let simmer until the rice absorbs all the water and is tender, 9 to 10 minutes. 2. In a small pot, bring the rice vinegar to a simmer over medium-low heat. Stir in the sugar and salt until they're fully dissolved. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and use a spatula to toss the rice to coat. Cool completely. 3. Make the Sushi: Cut the ends off the cucumbers and then thinly slice the cucumbers into long ?-inch-thick strips. 4. Dip your hands into cool water and then mound 1 rounded tablespoon of rice and press it firmly into a tight ball. Place the rice ball at one end of a cucumber strip. Place a few pieces of carrot, a piece of avocado and a piece of scallion alongside the rice. Roll up the ingredients to wrap fully in the cucumber. Secure the end of the cucumber with a toothpick. 5. Repeat with the remaining rice, cucumber strips and veggies. You can remove the toothpicks after the rolls have set for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. Serve immediately with soy sauce.

Steps:

• Place the rice into a mixing bowl and cover with cool water. Swirl the rice in the water, pour off and repeat 2 to 3 times or until the water is clear.
• Place the rice and 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan and place over high heat. Bring to a boil, uncovered. Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Combine the rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a small bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds. Transfer the rice into a large wooden or glass mixing bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Fold thoroughly to combine and coat each grain of rice with the mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature before using to make sushi or sashimi.
