Ingredients
  

4 large nori sheets

1 cup sushi rice

1 1/4 cups water

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cucumber, julienned

1 medium carrot, grated

1/2 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/4 cup purple cabbage, shredded

1/4 cup edamame, shelled and cooked

Soy sauce or tamari, for dipping

Pickled ginger, for garnish (optional)

Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the sushi rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.

    Season the rice: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice using a wooden spatula or rice paddle, being careful not to mash the rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

      Prepare the veggies: While the rice cools, prepare your vegetables by julienning the cucumber, grating the carrot, slicing the avocado and red bell pepper, shredding the purple cabbage, and cooking the edamame if it's not pre-cooked.

        Assemble the sushi burritos: Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean work surface. With wet hands, spread approximately 1/2 cup of the seasoned sushi rice evenly across the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

          Layer the fillings: Arrange a mix of cucumber, grated carrot, avocado, red bell pepper, purple cabbage, and edamame horizontally across the middle of the rice.

            Roll it up: Begin rolling the sushi burrito away from you, using the mat to help keep the fillings in place. Tuck the filling in as you roll. Once you reach the top border, wet the edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

              Slice and serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi burrito into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired and serve with soy sauce and pickled ginger on the side.
