Equipment
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Uncooked Sushi Rice 4 cups cooked rice
- 8 Nori Sheets
- 300 g Smoked Salmon or other protein
- 2 Carrots
- 1/2 Cucumber
- 1 Avocado
- Sriracha optional
- Optional add-ons see notes
Instructions
To make sushi rice
- To start, soak the sushi rice for 30 minutes and rinse it until the water runs clear. In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the rice, then reduce heat to simmer and cover with a lid for 10 minutes. Let the rice cool and mix in rice vinegar, maple syrup (or sugar), and salt to taste.
Assemble sushi burritos
- While the rice is cooling, thinly slice or julienne the vegetables, and slice the avocado.
- Combine two nori sheets, moistening the edges to stick them together. Spread a quarter of the rice on one side of the nori, pressing it down into a square shape with a wet spoon. Add the salmon, vegetables, avocado, and your optional add-ons.
- Starting from the edge with the filling, fold the nori over and roll away from you, tucking in the filling tightly. Wet the edge again when you reach the other side to seal the sushi burrito. The ends may be open, but if rolled tightly, the filling should stay inside.
- For a visually appealing presentation, slice the burrito in half diagonally. Place the burrito on a large square of parchment paper, fold the sides in toward the center, and then roll to completely close the burrito.
- You can enjoy your sushi burrito as is or dip it in soy sauce for added flavor.

Notes
STORAGE:
For optimum freshness, refrigerate the sushi burrito wrapped in parchment, foil, or plastic wrap for up to 4 days. Be mindful of the expiry date on the fish used.
TIPS:
- Use short-grain rice for stickiness.
- Prevent avocado browning by drizzling with citrus juice.
- Experiment with grains, proteins, and vegetables for variety.
- Enhance flavors with sauces, pickled veggies, and toppings like sesame seeds or crispy onions.
