Steps
Cucumber Lattice Vegetable Roll
- Place bamboo mat on a work surface. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap.
- Trim cucumber to the length of nori sheet. With a vegetable peeler, slice cucumber thinly to make 10 thin strips. Cut those 10 strips in half lengthwise. You should have a total of 20 strips for 1 roll. Place 10 strips horizontally onto the wrap. Then place the remaining strips of cucumber vertically, making a lattice pattern.
- Place a full sheet of nori on top of the latticed cucumber. In a small bowl of water, wet hands, then clap hands to remove excess water.
- Spread sushi rice on bottom portion of the nori sheet, covering only three-fourths of the nori.
- Arrange avocado slices, bell pepper and shredded carrots on top of rice. Drizzle with spicy mayo, then sprinkle with microgreens or sprouts.
- Using the bamboo mat, roll tightly from the bottom up, squeezing gently as you roll. Let rest for 1 minute. Place in refrigerator until ready to cut.
- Slice into bite-sized pieces, and arrange on a serving platter. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Serve with soy sauce.
Rice
- In a saucepan, add water and rice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer until water is absorbed.
- In a small bowl, add rice wine vinegar, salt and sugar; whisk together. Place in microwave for 30 seconds or until all sugar has dissolved.
- Pour into rice mixture and stir to combine. Let rice cool completely.
Spicy Mayo Sauce
- In a small bowl, add all ingredients for sauce and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
