Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked Japanese rice
• 1 teaspoon of seasoned rice vinegar
• 1 carrot (grated)
• 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons of white wine
• 2 tablespoons of sesame oil

2. Add the vinegar, sesame seeds, soy sauce, white wine and oil to the bowl, and mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Take a small saucepan, place it on medium heat and add the shrimp. Allow the shrimp to cook for 8-10 minutes, until they’re cooked through.
4. Meanwhile, grab a bamboo sushi rolling mat and place a sheet of nori seaweed on it.
5. Spread a thin layer of the prepared rice mixture over the seaweed, leaving about a quarter inch of the top and bottom edges clear.
6. Place a few strips of carrot, cucumber and avocado in the center of the nori.
7. Using the mat as a guide, begin rolling the edges of the nori towards the center, forming a log.
