4 Sheets Nori

2 cups Japanese Short Grain Rice, cooked and cooled

1 cup Cucumber, cut into matchstick sized strips

1 cup Sweet Potatoes, cooked

½ cup Rice Vinegar

2 tablespoons Sesame Oil

2 tablespoons toasted Sesame Seeds

Directions

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar with sesame oil.

Add cucumber strips. Gently stir to avoid the cucumber from breaking apart. Let the mixture marinate for 4 hours.

Remove cucumber from marinade and drain.

Using a blender, whip sweet potatoes until they become smooth and creamy.

Place plastic wrap on top of a flat surface.

Put a half cup of cooked Japanese rice on the plastic wrap. Press it down on the plastic sheet.

Place a sheet of Nori on top of the rice. Spread ¼ cup of the blended sweet potatoes on top of this sheet. Sprinkle sesame seeds.

Place ¼ cup of cucumber strips down the middle of the set-up.

Starting from the outside, roll up the sheet. Dampen the edges to seal. This will result to the rice placed outside the roll.

Let it cool for a minimum of 3 hours prior to slicing. Once cooled, you can use a damp and sharp knife to slice the vegetarian sushi recipe in ½” thick slices.
