Rainbow Sushi
Rainbow Sushi rolls combine cooked sushi rice with an assortment of colorful, thinly sliced vegetables such as red and yellow bell peppers, cucumber, carrot, avocado, and grated beetroot. Wrapped in nori seaweed and shaped using a bamboo rolling mat, these vibrant sushi rolls offer a fresh, crisp texture alongside the sticky sushi rice, making for an eye-catching and tasty hand-rolled dish.
Ingredients
- 200 g sushi rice cooked
- 2 heet nori
- 0.5 red bell pepper cut into thin strips
- 0.5 yellow bell pepper cut into thin strips
- 0.25 cucumber cut into thin strips
- 1 carrot grated
- 0.5 avocado cut into thin strips
- 1 beetroot grated
Instructions
- Cook your sushi rice according to our Sushi Rice recipe.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo rolling mat, shiny side down. Put the cooked sushi rice onto the nori and spread to cover ¾ of the nori.
- Lay the filling halfway along the rice.
- Using a rolling mat, roll up from the bottom, tightly away from you. Leave a small amount of nori unrolled. Wet this part of the nori with water and finish rolling to seal it.
Notes
- Use 70 grams of raw sushi rice to yield about 200 grams cooked rice needed for this recipe.
- Wet your knife before each cut to prevent rice sticking and ensure clean slices.
- Place the nori shiny side down on the rolling mat for better rice adherence and appearance.
- If water alone doesn’t seal the nori, use a few cooked rice grains as glue when finishing the roll.
- Ensure the sushi rice is fully cooled before spreading to avoid soggy nori.
- Handle the sticky rice with wet hands or a spoon for easier spreading and rolling.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on finished rolls to add texture and flavor if desired.
