Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 tsp salt

For the rolls

2 large english cucumbers
1 ripe avocado, pitted and thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, julienned
1 red bell pepper, julienned

3 tbsp tamari

Instructions

1
Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water, swirling with your hand, until the water runs nearly clear, about 1–2 minutes. Combine the rinsed rice and 1 1/4 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes — do not lift the lid during this time.
2
While the rice steams, stir together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve.
