Charred Avocado Hand Rolls Recipe
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
Remove the avocado from its skin and cut it into 8 segments.
Place the avocado on a rimmed baking sheet.
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.
Carefully place the avocado segments in a bowl with the yuzu dashi, using a spoon to coat.
Let the avocado marinate for about 10 minutes.
To assemble the rolls, place a sheet of nori shiny side down.
Scoop about ¼ cup of the rice onto the left side of the rectangle at an angle toward the bottom center of the piece.
Top the rice with 2 segments of avocado.
Add a few matchsticks of cucumber and a sprinkle of sprouts.
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.
Repeat with the remaining rolls and serve immediately.
