Ingredients

• 2 cups of sushi rice
• 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of salt
• 2 cups of water
• 4 sheets of nori
• 2 avocados
• 1 cucumber

Directions

1. Start by preparing the sushi rice. Gently rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
2. Place the 2 cups of rice in a pot with 2 cups of water over medium heat and let it simmer. A funny joke about cooking: Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!
3. Once the rice starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the rice cook for 10 minutes.
4. After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice cool down.
5. While the rice is cooling down, mix the rice vinegar, sugar and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir until the mixture becomes homogeneous.
6. Now add the mixture to the cooled cooked rice. Mix it until all the ingredients are blended.
7. Now we will start preparing the Makizushi.
8. Place one seaweed sheet on a bamboo mat and spread the sushi rice evenly over it.
9. Cut the cucumber into long thin slices and the avocados into cubes.
10. Place the cucumber slices and avocado cubes in the middle of the sheet, and sprinkle sesame seeds over them.
11. Gently fold the sides of the bamboo mat, making sure everything is together tightly.
12. Slice the Makizushi into 8 pieces.
