Rice Preparation
Use high-quality sushi rice and prepare it correctly with sushi vinegar for the best flavor and texture. Ensure the rice is cooled before rolling.
Avocado Selection
Choose ripe but firm avocados. Too soft, and they will be difficult to work with; too hard, and they will lack flavor and creaminess.
Rolling Technique
Use a bamboo rolling mat (makisu) to create a tight and even roll. Moisten the mat with plastic wrap to prevent the rice from sticking.
Knife Technique
Use a very sharp, slightly wet knife to slice the roll into even pieces. Wipe the blade clean between each cut to prevent sticking and tearing.
Presentation
Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger (gari) for a complete sushi experience. Consider garnishing with sesame seeds or masago (capelin roe) for added flavor and visual appeal.
