- 20 minutes to make
- Serves 1
Eating dinner alone, craving sushi but not wanting to sit alone at the bar, order take-out or get supemarket-style rolls? This makes 2 decent-sized rolls of sushi which can be filled with anything you like. For simplicity's sake I love crabstick (surimi) and cucumber sticks in mine.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup uncooked short-grain white rice (sushi rice), rinsed well and drained shopping list
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar shopping list
- 1 tbsp sugar shopping list
- 3/4 tsp salt shopping list
- 2 sheets nori shopping list
- 1/4 medium cucumber, peeled and cut into matchsticks shopping list
- 2 pieces of "stick" style surimi, halved lengthwise shopping list
- wasabi, shoyu and gari for serving (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2/3 cups water to a boil.
- Add rice and stir once or twice.
- Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 20 minutes. Keep warm.
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar ,and salt until dissolved.
- Transfer rice to a bowl, and using a (preferably wooden) spoon, blend the mixture into the rice.
- Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo rolling mat.
- Using wet hands, spread half the rice in a thin layer, leaving about 1" space on the sheet facing you.
- Arrange half the cucumber and surimi along the edge of the nori, on top of the rice.
- Lift the end of the mat, and gently roll it over the ingredients, pressing gently.
- Roll it forward to make a complete roll. Transfer to a cutting board, and repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Wet a sharp knife (the sharpest you have!) and slice each roll into 6 pieces.
- Serve with wasabi, shoyu and gari if desired.
