Ingredients
  

4 sheets of sushi nori

1 cup sushi rice

2 cups water

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 avocado, sliced

1 large carrot, julienned

1 cucumber, julienned

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), thinly sliced

½ cup purple cabbage, thinly sliced

1 cup sprouts (alfalfa or radish)

Soy sauce, for dipping

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Optional: Pickled ginger and wasabi for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

    Season the Rice: In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. After the rice has rested, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture until well combined. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

      Prepare the Veggies: While the rice is cooling, prepare all the vegetables by slicing them into thin strips. Arrange them on a platter for easy assembly.

        Assemble the Sushi Burritos: Place a sheet of sushi nori on a clean surface or bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. With wet hands (to prevent sticking), grab a handful of sushi rice (about ½ cup) and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

          Add Fillings: Layer a few slices of avocado, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, purple cabbage, and a handful of sprouts over the rice.

            Roll It Up: Starting at the bottom (the edge closest to you), carefully roll the nori over the filling. Tuck it tightly as you go to form a burrito shape. When reaching the top edge, wet the edge with a bit of water to seal the roll.

              Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi burrito into bite-sized pieces (about 2 inches). Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.

                Enjoy: Gather your friends and enjoy these delightful Mini Veggie Sushi Burritos as a fun and healthy meal or snack!
