INGREDIENTS
3 cups short-gain brown or white rice, cooked
2 Tbsp canola oil
6 oz shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly slice
1 cup teriyaki sauce
1/3 cup brown or white rice vinegar
2 Tbsp raw agave
4 sheets toasted nori
1 avocado; pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced
1½ tsp sea salt
FOR SERVING
Soy sauce for dipping
Wasabi (optional)
PREP
Cook rice according to package directions.
While rice is cooking, prepare other ingredients.
SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat, and sauté sliced shiitake mushrooms until soft and lightly-browned.
Add teriyaki sauce and cook until heated through.
Remove shiitake mushrooms from skillet with a slotted spoon and reserve sauce.
RICE
Whisk together vinegar, raw agave, and sea salt in a small bowl. Transfer warm cooked rice onto a large baking sheet.
Slowly drizzle the vinegar mixture onto the cooked rice, while gently folding over the rice with a large spoon or spatula. If the rice becomes mushy, you have stirred too much.
Cover with a damp towel and let cool to room temperature.
BUILD
Lay one sheet of toasted nori (shiny side down) in front of you on a flat surface or bamboo sushi mat. With wet fingertips. Press ¾ cup cooled rice onto the toasted nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border on the top and bottom and a ½-inch border on the two sides.
On top of the rice, layer ¼ of the teriyaki shiitake mushrooms and 2-3 slices of avocado, parallel to your body, like you are rolling a yoga mat or a sleeping bag. Seal the roll with a little water.
Using a sharp knife, cut ½-inch off each edge of the nori roll to make clean edges. Slice the nori roll into ¾-inch pieces.
