Preparing the Sushi Rice:
Wash the Japanese short-grain rice thoroughly and cook it with 1.2 cups of water in a rice cooker or a medium saucepan. Once cooked, let it cool down slightly. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour the mixture over the warm rice and fold it gently with a wooden spoon to combine. Cover the rice with a damp cloth and let it cool down to room temperature.

Preparing the Fillings:
Julienne the cucumber, carrot, and bell peppers. Slice the avocado and pickled ginger. Keep the fillings ready.

Assembling the Sushi:
Place a nori sheet flat on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of veg sushi rice onto the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange the fillings in the middle of the rice.

Step 4 –

Rolling the Sushi:
Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly but gently. Apply some water to the edge of the nori sheet to seal the roll. Repeat the process to make more rolls.

Step 5 –

Serving:
Slice the veg sushi rolls into 6-8 pieces and serve with soy sauce, sesame seeds, and pickled ginger.
