My kids love sushi, but my previous attempts at making sushi rolls at home haven’t been successful. I either end up making giant rolls or they fall apart! Never fear – Onigirazu, “Japanese Sandwich”, is where it’s at! They have the same delicious flavours as sushi but are much easier to make. These sushi sandwiches are a great healthy lunch idea! Simply lay out your ingredients and fold them into a little parcel. I used tuna, cucumber and avocado as fillings here, but feel free to substitute with whatever you like.

Yes, you can assemble, refrigerate in an airtight container and consume within 24 hours.
Are Sushi Sandwiches suitable for leftovers?
Yes, Sushi Sandwiches can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
For those of you who love sushi but find it a bit tricky to make, this Sushi Sandwich recipe saves the day. All you need to do is place a sheet of nori in front of you, then top it with your ingredients – tuna, cucumber, avocado and rice – then simply fold up into a little parcel. All you need is 10 minutes and the fillings are customisable.
Note 1 – Jasmine rice was used in this recipe, but you can use any rice you like. It’s easiest to work with freshly cooked rice that has been slightly cooled down (not hot). If desired, season your rice with sushi seasoning (an equal mix of vinegar, sugar and water).
