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.
