Serves: 2
Total Calories: 42
Yield: 2 rolls

Ingredients

2 sheets nori
2 teaspoons mellow white miso
2 cups alfalfa or clover sprouts (optional)
1/4 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut lengthwise into thin strips
1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
1/4 cup peeled and shredded carrot or carrot ribbons (see Tools and Techniques chapter)
1/4 red bell pepper, cut legthwise into thin strips
Tamari for dipping (optional)

Directions:

Equipment:
bamboo sushi mat
measuring spoons
measuring cups
cutting board
peeler
spoon
chef’s knife, 8-inch
grater
small bowl with water, for sealing the roll
serrated knife, 5-inch
plate
small bowl for serving tamari (optional)

Lay one sheet of the nori, shiny-side down, on a bamboo sushi mat. Using the back of a teaspoon, spread 1 teaspoon of the miso in a single horizontal strip anywhere along the bottom third of the nori. Along the edge of the nori closest to you, layer half of the optional sprouts, cucumber, avocado, carrot, and bell pepper. To roll, grip the edges of the nori sheet and the sushi mat together with your thumbs and forefingers and press the filling back toward you with your other fingers. Using the mat to help you, roll the front edge of the nori over the filling. Squeeze it with the mat, then lift the mat and continue rolling. Just before completing the roll, dip your index finger in water and run it along the far edge of the nori sheet. This will seal the seam of the roll. Cut the roll into 6 pieces with a serrated knife. Fill, roll, and slice the other sheet of nori the same way. Arrange on a plate. Serve immediately, with a small bowl of tamari for dipping if desired.

Not Tuna Rolls: Replace the avocado with 1/4 cup of Not Tuna Pâté, using 2 tablespoons per roll.
