Onigirazu Sushi Sandwich Recipe

150g sushi rice
1 tbsp rice vinegar
4 sheets nori
½ carrot
shredded
1 avocado
sliced
150g sashimi-grade tuna
sliced (see notes below)
finely chopped to make 4 tbsp pickled ginger
¼ cucumber
deseeded and sliced into half moons
to serve wasabi paste
to serve soy sauce

Method

step 1
Cook the sushi rice following pack instructions. Tip out onto a plate, sprinkle with the rice vinegar and a little seasoning, then leave to cool.
step 2
Meanwhile, lay a piece of clingfilm on a worksurface and put a nori sheet on top, with one of the corners nearest you. Using clean, wet hands, separate the rice into 8 even piles, then take one and shape into an 8cm square in the middle of the nori sheet – it should be roughly 1cm thick.
step 3
Add roughly ¹/4 of the carrot, avocado, tuna, ginger and cucumber on top, in single layers. Shape another square of rice and place on top. Fold up the corners of the nori wrap to completely enclose the rice, using a little water to seal the sandwich completely, then wrap tightly in the clingfilm. Repeat with the others, then chill until needed. To serve, cut in half and serve with wasabi and soy sauce for dipping.
