Green Dinner

Avocado Rolls

Rolls are a very popular and delicious dinner option. And with avocado, it becomes even healthier.

Ingredients:
● sushi rice – 160g;
● ripe avocado – 1 piece;
● nori seaweed – 2-3 sheets;
● sugar – 0,5 tbsp.

Preparation:
● Rinse the rice by pouring water over it. Pour fresh water over the rice several times until the liquid becomes clear. Put the rice in a deep pot, pour water in the proportion of 1:1.5. Depending on the cooking mode, the water will be absorbed into the rice after a while. Remove the pot from the heat and, without removing the lid, insist for 15 minutes. Remember that warm rice is best when cooking rolls.
For further actions, you will need a special bamboo mat (makisu), which is used when cooking rolls. Spread food wrap on it and place half a sheet of nori seaweed on it.
Spread an even layer of rice over the entire surface of the sheet. To prevent the rice from sticking to your hands, moisten them with lemon juice.
Peel the avocado and cut it in half. Then cut into long strips and place them along the rice. Once the filling is ready, gently twist the roll. Cut the finished roll into 6 pieces.
