AVOCADO, SCALLION
& BASIL ROLL
Makes 1 roll
Equipment needed: sushi rolling mat
1½ cups Perfect Sushi Rice (page 18)
¼ avocado, peeled, pitted and thinly
sliced
1 scallion, thinly sliced
6 to 7 fresh basil leaves
bowl of cold water (to help in rolling
sushi)
Cover the sushi mat with plastic wrap (to prevent
sticking). Wet hands with cold water and press sushi
rice onto covered mat. Place the avocado, scallion
and basil leaves in a thin horizontal line across the
middle of the rice. Wet hands again with the water
and, with the help of the sushi mat, roll the rice
toward you in a jelly-roll fashion. Be sure to roll
tightly, but without too much pressure, to ensure
an even sushi roll.
Unwrap the sushi mat and then, with a clean and
sharp knife, cut into 8 pieces.
Serve with pickled ginger, wasabi and light soy
sauce.
