Cucumber Sushi
Ingredients
2 Lebanese cucumbers
1/2 red capsicum
1/2 avocado
1/2 cup sushi rice cooked
1 tbs soy sauce *to serve
Method
STEP 1 Finely slice the capsicum and avocado.
STEP 2 Cook the rice according to the packet instructions. Let it cool.
STEP 3 Cut each cucumber in half and use an apple corer to hollow out the centres. You may need to dry out the cavity, so that the rice will stick better. To do this, wrap a chopstick with a paper towel and use it to dab the cavity dry.
STEP 4 Stuff about two teaspoons of cooked rice into the cavity, then use a knife to press the rice to the side, to make way for the other veggies.
STEP 5 Slide in a few slices of capsicum and avocado until the cavity is fully stuffed.
STEP 6 Cut into slices and serve with soy sauce.
Notes
You can stuff your cucumber sushi with whatever you fancy: carrot or tuna could also work.
This is a great idea for kids' lunch boxes or after school snacks.
Serve this fresh veggie snack with soy sauce.
