Ingredients
  

4 large sheets of sushi nori

1 cup sushi rice

1 ¼ cups water (for cooking rice)

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar

½ teaspoon salt

1 small cucumber, julienned

1 medium avocado, sliced

1 medium carrot, julienned

½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced

½ cup edamame (shelled and cooked)

¼ cup pickled ginger (optional)

Soy sauce, for dipping

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Microgreens or sprouts (optional, for extra crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sushi Rice: Begin by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Combine the rinsed rice and 1 ¼ cups of water in a rice cooker or a medium pot. If using a rice cooker, follow the manufacturer's instructions. If cooking on the stove, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for 10 more minutes.

    Season the Rice: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves completely. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture while fanning the rice to help it cool. Set the seasoned rice aside.

      Prepare Your Fillings: While the rice cools, wash and prepare your vegetables. Julienne the cucumber and carrot, and thinly slice the avocado and red bell pepper. If using edamame, ensure they are shelled and cooked; set them aside.

        Assemble the Burrito Rolls: Take a sheet of sushi nori and place it shiny side down on a clean, flat surface. Wet your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Take approximately ½ cup of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1-2 inches of space at the top edge for sealing.

          Layer the Veggies: In the center of the rice, create neat rows of the prepared cucumber, avocado, carrot, red bell pepper, and edamame. If desired, add a small dollop of pickled ginger and a light sprinkle of sesame seeds to enhance flavor.

            Roll It Up: Starting at the bottom edge, carefully roll the nori up, tucking in the fillings as you go to maintain tightness. When you reach the top edge, moisten it lightly with water to seal the roll securely.

              Cut the Rolls: Using a sharp knife that has been moistened, slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces, about 1-2 inches thick. Wipe the knife clean with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner edges.

                Serve: Arrange the Mini Veggie Sushi Burrito Rolls artfully on a platter. Garnish with extra sesame seeds, and if using, a handful of microgreens or sprouts for added crunch. Serve with a side of soy sauce for dipping.
