Kappa Maki Cucumber Sushi Rolls Recipes

KAPPA MAKI | VEGGIE SUSHI ROLL

Steps:

• Whilst the cooked rice for your Kappa maki is still hot, gently fold it in with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until fully coated.
• Rinse your cucumber thoroughly and cut in half horizontally, and then half again until they resemble even quarters.
• Lay your bamboo mat along with a layer of saran wrap on a flat surface. Have a bowl of water on the side. Lay your nori on the mat with its shiny side facing the mat.
• Add 1 cup of rice to the centre of the nori sheet. With wet fingers, distribute the rice evenly across the sheet, leaving a small 2cm gap on the top.
• Place a cucumber quarter horizontally on the rice for your Kappa maki roll.
• Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi into a tight cylinder. Lift both the mat and wrap it together to prevent it from rolling into the sushi. Press on the roll to make it compact.
• Wet the nori that is not touching the rice with water to act as glue to seal the roll. Cut into desired bitesize pieces. Serve your Kappa maki on a plate!
