How to Make Vegetarian Sushi Rolls
- Rinse 2 cups sushi rice thoroughly until the water runs clear.
- Combine rinsed rice, 1 cup water, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
- While the rice is standing, whisk together 2 tablespoons rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon soy sauce.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Gently toss with the vinegar mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Let cool for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
- Mix 1 teaspoon wasabi powder with 1 teaspoon water until a smooth paste forms. Set aside for at least 15 minutes.
- Place a sushi rolling mat on a clean work surface.
- Lay one sheet of nori seaweed shiny-side down on the mat.
- Using damp fingers, evenly spread half of the cooled rice over the nori, leaving a 1 ¾-inch border at the top edge (farthest from you).
- Arrange the cucumber, carrot, avocado, and radish sprouts in a horizontal line across the rice, starting about 1 inch from the bottom edge.
- Using the bamboo mat, carefully lift the bottom edge of the nori and gently roll it over the filling. Tuck the filling in tightly.
- Continue rolling, using the mat to keep the ingredients tightly packed and in place.
- Once tightly rolled, moisten the top edge of the nori with water to seal the roll. Remove the sushi roll from the mat.
- Repeat steps 8-13 with the remaining ingredients and nori sheet to create a second roll.
- Using a sharp, wet knife, cut each roll into 6 equal pieces.
- Serve immediately with wasabi paste, soy sauce, and pickled ginger (optional).
