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.
Get a sheet of plastic wrap – Place a sheet of plastic wrap on your kitchen bench (it needs to be slightly bigger than the nori sheet).
Place the nori on the wrap – Place the nori sheet on top, shiny-side down, so that one of the corners faces towards you (in a diamond shape).
Add the rice – In the centre of the diamond, place a thin layer of rice in the shape of a rectangle, approximately 12 x 7 cm (4¾ x 2¾ inches).
Add the remaining ingredients – Top the rice with cucumber slices, followed by the tuna (mixed with the mayonnaise), followed by the avocado and more rice.
Fold and serve – Fold the corners of the nori sheet inwards, using the plastic wrap to secure the rice sandwich tightly. Cut in half to eat and serve.
Notes
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).
MAKE AHEAD
