& BASIL ROLL
Function: Sushi
Makes 1 roll
Equipment needed: sushi rolling mat
1½ cups Perfect Sushi Rice (preceding
recipe)
¼ avocado, peeled, pitted and thinly
sliced
1 green onion, thinly sliced
6 to 7 fresh basil leaves
Bowl of cold water (to help in
rolling sushi)
Pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce,

and press sushi rice onto covered mat. Place
the avocado, scallion and basil leaves in a thin
horizontal line across the middle of the rice.
Wet hands again with the water and, with the
help of the sushi mat, roll the rice toward you
in a jelly-roll fashion. Be sure to roll tightly, but
without too much pressure, to ensure an even
sushi roll.
2. Unwrap the sushi mat and then, with a clean
and sharp knife, cut into 8 pieces.
3. Serve with pickled ginger, wasabi and soy
sauce.
