Are you a lover of sushi? If you are then try this sandwich sushi. This is great for school lunchboxes and adds a little variety into the day. I promise these are easy and we have step by step instructions to show you how.
🍴Makes: 4 sushi sandwiches
🕒 Prep: 40 mins Rest: 15 mins
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 3 tablespoons sushi rice vinegar
- 4 nori sheets
- 1 small Lebanese cucumber
- 100g tinned tuna in spring water
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- ½ avocado
Directions
- Rinse rice under cold water
- Place rice and 2 cups water in saucepan and bring to boil
- Simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until water is absorbed
- Remove rice from heat and leave for 10 minutes
- Place rice in bowl and stir in sushi vinegar
- Allow rice to cool (you can speed the cooling process by covering a tray with foil and spreading rice over it to cool)
- Prepare fillings: mix mayonnaise and drained tuna, slice cucumber and avocado
- To make the sushi sandwich, lay out a piece of foil just bigger than the nori sheet, the place the nori on top with shiny side down
- Add ¼ cup of rice to the middle of the sheet. Wet your finger tips and flatten the rice and shape it to a diamond in the centre of nori (make sure you leave the edges free)
- Add another ¼ cup of rice on top and press down
- Wet the edges of the nori and fold each corner into the centre to create a sealed pocket
- Wrap the foil or glad wrap up and leave the sushi in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to allow the rice to soak into the nori
- Repeat with the other 3 sushi sandwiches
- To serve, unwrap the sushi and slice in half with a sharp knife
Notes
You can use brown rice if you like, you will need 2½ cups water and to cook for about 30 minutes. Be mindful as sushi doesn’t hold together quite as well with brown rice.
Try making these with any fillings you like.
