Ingredients

  • 1 1⁄2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp. sesame oil, plus more to brush, if desired
  • 4 sheets nori seaweed
  • 1⁄2 cup matchstick carrots
  • 2 Persian cucumbers, julienne cut
  • 1 red bell pepper, julienne cut
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz. cheddar cheese, julienne cut
  • 8 oz. Deli ham, thinly sliced

Directions

  • Rinse rice in cold water, then place in a medium saucepan. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool completely.
  • Add rice vinegar and sesame oil to the cooled rice.
  • Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread an even layer of rice, just to the edges. Place carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, cheese and ham in even layers on the rice.
  • Carefully lift the bottom end of the nori to cover the ingredients, then gently roll the nori to the top. Use a little water to seal the nori, if needed.
  • Repeat with remaining ingredients. Once rolled, brush with sesame oil, if desired and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • Serve and refrigerate leftovers.
