Prep Time:
15 minutes
Cook Time:
5 minutes
Servings:
4 Rolls
Ingredients
  • 1 large Hass avocado, pitted
  • 1 cup yuzu ponzu with dashi
  • 2 sheets toasted standard-size nori, cut in half width-wise
  • 1 ½ cups prepared and seasoned sushi rice
  • ½ Persian cucumber, cut into matchsticks
  • ⅓ cup sprouts or micro greens
Directions
  1. Remove the avocado from its skin and cut it into 8 segments.
  2. Place the avocado on a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Using a blow torch, lightly char each piece of avocado. Alternatively, use a grill or grill pan to add char to the avocado halves before slicing.
  4. Carefully place the avocado segments in a bowl with the yuzu dashi, using a spoon to coat.
  5. Let the avocado marinate for about 10 minutes.
  6. To assemble the rolls, place a sheet of nori shiny side down.
  7. Scoop about ¼ cup of the rice onto the left side of the rectangle at an angle toward the bottom center of the piece.
  8. Top the rice with 2 segments of avocado.
  9. Add a few matchsticks of cucumber and a sprinkle of sprouts.
  10. Fold the bottom-left corner of the nori over the filling and roll to form a cone, using a wet finger to seal the final edge.
  11. Repeat with the remaining rolls and serve immediately.
