Ingredients:

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 nori sheets
• 1 cucumber, julienned
• 1 red bell pepper, julienned
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 mango, sliced
• Pickled ginger
• Sesame seeds
• Soy sauce, for serving
• Wasabi, for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sushi Rice:

   • Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
   • Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.
   • Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved. Pour over the cooked rice and gently mix to combine. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

2. Assemble the Sushi Rolls:

   • Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
   • Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
   • Arrange cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, mango, and pickled ginger in a line across the center of the rice.
   • Sprinkle sesame seeds over the fillings.
   • Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori and rice over the fillings, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Continue rolling until the nori is completely wrapped around the rice and fillings.

3. Slice and Serve:

   • Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 6-8 pieces.
   • Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
   • Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and extra pickled ginger.
