Ingredients
  

4 sheets of Nori (seaweed)

1 cup sushi rice, cooked and seasoned (1 cup sushi rice, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, ½ teaspoon salt)

1 medium cucumber, julienned

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 ripe avocado, sliced

½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced

½ cup green onions, thinly sliced

¼ cup radish sprouts or microgreens

¼ cup toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Soy sauce (for serving)

Wasabi and pickled ginger (optional garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sushi Rice:

    - Begin by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear, ensuring excess starch is removed.

      - Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly at room temperature.

        - In a separate small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until fully dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked sushi rice, being careful not to mash the grains.

          Prepare the Vegetables:

            - While the sushi rice cools, wash and julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin, matchstick-like pieces. Also, slice the red bell pepper and avocado, keeping each vegetable separate.

              Assemble the Burrito Rolls:

                - Position a sheet of Nori on a clean, flat surface or a bamboo sushi mat, ensuring the shiny side is facing down.

                  - With wet hands to prevent sticking, take approximately ¼ cup of the seasoned sushi rice and spread it evenly across the Nori, leaving about 2 inches of space at the top edge for sealing.

                    - Layer the center of the rice with the julienned cucumber, carrot, red bell pepper, avocado slices, green onions, and top it with radish sprouts or microgreens.

                      Roll it Up:

                        - Starting from the bottom edge of the Nori, carefully roll the sushi towards the top edge. Tuck in the filling as you go, maintaining a snug but gentle grip to avoid squeezing the contents out.

                          - To seal the roll, moisten the top edge of the Nori with a few drops of water to ensure it sticks together securely.

                            Slice and Serve:

                              - Utilize a sharp knife to slice the burrito roll in half or into bite-sized pieces. For best results, wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to maintain clean edges.

                                - If desired, sprinkle the rolls with toasted sesame seeds for an added crunch.

                                  - Serve the Mini Veggie Sushi Burrito Rolls alongside soy sauce for dipping, and garnish the plate with wasabi and pickled ginger for an extra flavor boost.
