Veggie Sushi Rolls

Ingredients:

Seaweed (Sushi Nori)
Cooked Jasmine Rice
Wasabi Paste
Vegetables (Cut into thin strips)
(Carrots and Cucumber)
Rice Vinegar
Sesame Seeds - lightly roasted
Soy Sauce
Salt
Sugar

Jasmine Rice is sticky when cooked. It helps form perfect sushi rolls.
A rolling mat is also needed to roll the Sushi Nori weeds.

Preparation:

1. Mix Cooked Rice, 1 tbs Rice Vinegar, pinch of salt, pinch of sugar and roasted Sesame Seeds, and keep aside.

2. Place the rolling mat on a flat surface and place one Sushi Nori weed on top of it.



3. Smear the Sushi Nori with some Wasabi paste. The Nori weed is delicate, so use light strokes.
4. Spead the rice mixture on the Nori weed from left end to right end. Leave 2-3 inches of space at the top end.


5. Place the thin strips of vegetables on the rice from left end to right end.


6. Start rolling the Nori weed now. Firmly press the mat when doing so.


7. Once you have the roll, you can cut it into smaller rolls of 1 inch thickness.



Serve with Soy Sauce and Wasabi Paste.


Dissolve some Wasabi Paste in Soy Sauce. Dip Sushi Roll and pop it into your mouth. Enjoy.
