    Recipe Introduction


    A good friend JustD2Me (Dee) shared this wonderful recipe with me.

    List of Ingredients




    ---Rice---
    2 cups sushi rice, uncooked
    2 cups water
    1 teaspoon kosher salt

    ---Dressing---
    1/2 cup rice vinegar
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 tablespoon sesame oil, *see Note
    1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
    1 teaspoon grated ginger root, peeled **see Note
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1/4 teaspoon prepared wasabi, optional - 1/4 to
    3/4 tsp

    ---Remaining ingredients---
    1 cup cucumber (2-inch)
    julienne-cut peeled English cucumber
    ***see Note
    1/4 cup minced red onion
    1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
    1 sheet nori (seaweed), cut into 2-inch
    julienne strips

    Recipe



    TO PREPARE RICE: Rinse rice thoroughly in a sieve. Drain well. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan, add rice and salt. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; uncover and cool to room temperature.

    TO PREPARE DRESSING: Combine vinegar, and next 5 ingredients (vinegar through garlic) in a small bowl. Add wasabi, if desired. Combine cooled rice, dressing, cucumber, onion, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. Sprinkle evenly with nori.

    Dee's Notes:
    *omitted sesame oil because I don't like it
    **I used powdered ginger because I didn't have fresh
    **I'm sure you could use regular cucumber. I couldn't tell the difference in the English cucumber taste.

    I served the prepared wasabi one the side.

    This salad needs to be chilled before eating. It then tastes very similar to a veggie sushi roll. We also had grilled chicken and steamed carrots.
