Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 4 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 sheets nori, cut in half
  • 1/2 English cucumber, cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 cup pickled oshinko (Japanese pickled radish)

Directions

  • Step 1
    In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt have dissolved.
  • Step 2
    Put the cooked sushi rice in a shallow bowl, and pour the vinegar mixture over the top. Using a spatula, gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice until it is evenly distributed.
  • Step 3
    Lay a piece of nori on a sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread 1/4 cup of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top. Arrange 8 thin strips of cucumber and 4 strips of pickled oshinko in a line in the center of the rice.
  • Step 4
    Lift the end of the sushi mat closest to you, and use it to roll the nori and filling into a tight cylinder. Use the mat to press the roll firmly into shape. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
