Ingredients
  

4 sheets of Nori (seaweed)

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

1 medium cucumber, julienned

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 avocado, sliced

½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced

½ cup thinly sliced green onions

¼ cup radish sprouts or microgreens

¼ cup sesame seeds (toasted, optional)

Soy sauce (for serving)

Wasabi and pickled ginger (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sushi Rice:

    - Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions and let it cool slightly.

      - In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold this mixture gently into the cooked rice to season it.

        Prepare the Veggies:

          - While the rice is cooling, julienne the cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper. Slice the avocado and set aside.

            Assemble the Burrito Rolls:

              - Place a sheet of Nori on a clean flat surface or a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

                - With wet hands, take about ¼ cup of the sushi rice and evenly spread it over the nori, leaving about 2 inches of space at the top edge.

                  - Layer the julienned cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, avocado slices, green onions, and radish sprouts in the center of the rice.

                    Roll it Up:

                      - Starting from the bottom edge of the nori, carefully roll the sushi towards the top edge, tucking the filling in as you go. Make sure to keep it tight but not too tight as to squeeze out the filling.

                        - Use a little water on the top edge of the nori to seal the roll.

                          Slice and Serve:

                            - Using a sharp knife, slice the burrito roll in half or into bite-sized pieces. You can wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep them clean.

                              - Sprinkle the rolled pieces with toasted sesame seeds if desired.

                                - Serve the sushi burrito rolls with soy sauce and garnish with wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.
