Prepare the rice base

Cover the sushi mat with plastic wrap to keep the mat clean. Cut the nori sheet in half and place it on the bamboo mat, rough side up. Wet your hands so the rice doesn’t stick to them. Take 1/2 cup sushi rice and spread it on the nori sheet. Sprinkle with sesame.

Build the role

Carefully turn the nori sheet over so the rice is facing down. Lay a few avocado strips in a straight line on the side closest to you.

Roll the roll

Now for the most difficult task! Starting on the side closest to you, use two hands to roll the nori sheet tightly around the fillings. It should be firm enough so the roll won’t fall apart, but not too hard as the fillings will squeeze out the sides.

Cut the roll

Using a very sharp, wet knife, cut the avocado roll into 1-inch pieces. Run the knife under cold water between cuts (without drying it).

Inside Out Sushi Roll

Tip – if you’re new to rolling sushi, you can always roll it with the rice inside after rolling and the nori on the outside (hence the name “inside-out sushi roll”) as it’s a lot easier is to roll.
