Classic California Roll Recipe: Um Toque Brasileiro

Start by washing the rice thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear.

Coloque o arroz na panela com a água e leve ao fogo alto até ferver.

When it boils, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 10 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the rice rest for another 10 minutes with the pot covered.

Meanwhile, mix the vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl until dissolved.

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and add the vinegar mixture, mixing gently.

With the rice already cold, place a sheet of nori on the bamboo mat.

Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a border free at the top.

In the center of the rice, add strips of cucumber, avocado, and surimi.

Lift the mat with the edge closest to you and begin to roll it up firmly.

Finish by pressing lightly and wet the edge of the seaweed with water to seal the roll.

With a sharp knife, cut into portions and serve with soy sauce, ginger, and wasabi.
