Serving Size 4 rolls

Ingredients

  • cooked sushi rice from 1 cup of uncooked sushi rice (see recipe notes below)
  • 1.5 Tablespoons sesame seeds either white, black, or mix them
  • 4 nori sheets
  • ⅔ cup roasted peanuts unsalted
  • 1 Tablespoon peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons agave syrup or any other liquid sweetener
  • 1 avocado sliced

Instructions

Cook Rice + Make Peanut Paste

  • Cook your rice according to this Brown Sushi Rice recipe.
  • Blend your roasted peanuts, peanut butter, and agave syrup until you form a paste.

**Below are the instructions for uramaki (inside out roll). For regular sushi rolls (nori sheet outside), see the post & photos above!**

    Add the Fillings

    • Wrap your bamboo sushi mat with cling wrap, covering both the front and back sides of the mat.
    • Place half a sheet of the nori, shiny side down.
    • Spread the rice evenly over the nori using a rice paddle, ensuring you cover the corners and edges. A smaller, regular tablespoon can help to fill the corners.
    • Then flip the nori so that the rice faces down on the mat, leaving the black nori on top.
    • Add your peanut paste and avocado in a horizontal strip at the bottom of the nori.

    Rolling Time

    • Then lift up the bottom of the sushi mat using your thumbs. Use your other fingers to keep the sushi fillings in place as you start to roll the sushi up. Gently massage the sushi to pack it in without squeezing too hard to avoid pushing out the fillings.
    • Wrap the sushi with another piece of cling wrap and gently pack it again using the mat.

    Slice and Serve

    • With the cling wrap still on, cut the sushi roll in the middle, then cut each half into 3-4 pieces.
    • Serve with soy sauce or any of your favorite sushi sauce, and you're done!
