Ingredients

Sushi
  • 2 cucumber
  • 1 cup sushi rice 210 g, uncooked
  • ½ avocado sliced, firm
  • ¼ red bell pepper sliced
  • ¼ bell pepper sliced, orange
  • red cabbage
  • sprouts
  • tofu
  • scallions
  • carrot julienne cut; optional add-ins
Spicy Mayo
  • 3 Tbsp mayonnaise 45 g
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha 15 g

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rice: Cook rice by instructions on package*.
  2. Scoop: Cut each cucumber in half and remove seeds with either a small spoon or knife to create a long, hollow tube.
  3. Stuff: Spoon in a small amount of rice, then compress towards one side of the tube using a small knife. Insert a slice of avocado and a few slices of pepper, then add more rice to fill gaps, compressing and adding more rice until packed full.
  4. Slice: With a sharp knife, slice cucumber into ½ inch thick pieces. If you start to notice the filling is loose as you cut, stuff in more rice and peppers where needed.
  5. Serve: Serve with your favorite sushi accoutrements, like spicy mayo, soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi. 

Notes

  • *To cook sushi rice on the stove, rinse rice with cold water in a fine mesh strainer. Combine 1 cup sushi rice with 1 cup water in a pot, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, still covered, for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 tsp of sugar and 1 tsp of salt into 2 Tbsp of rice vinegar. Fold this into the cooked rice.
