ONIGIRAZU - "sushi sandwich" with kimchi and beetroot
Ingredients
2 portions/4 sandwiches200 g sushi rice (or short-grain rice)
400 ml water
20 ml rice vinegar
1 tsp maple syrup
½ tsp salt
4 sheets of Nori seaweed
a few cucumber slices
iceberg lettuce leaf
avocado
200 g tofu/tempeh
sesame seeds
Instructions
01Rinse the rice and cover it with twice the amount of cold water. Let it soak for at least 20 minutes, then bring it to a boil. Once all the water has evaporated, which takes about 15 minutes, let it sit for another 30 minutes with the lid on, wrapped in a towel.
02Mix the rice with salt, maple syrup, and rice vinegar. Stir well, spread it out on a plate, and let it cool completely. Divide it into 8 portions.
03Clean and slice the vegetables, and fry the tofu slices in oil.
04Place the nori sheet shiny side down, with the tip facing you. Place one portion of rice in the center in a square shape and press it down. Layer the vegetables, avocado, tofu, or tempeh as desired, and be sure to add kimchi or fermented beetroot for extra flavor. Top with another portion of rice. Fold the corners of the nori sheet towards the center and press down with wet hands. Let it sit with the seams down for 10 minutes, then cut in half.
05Enjoy your meal!
