Ingredients
Heart Shaped Sushi
- Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups Sushi rice
- 1.333 cups water
- 1 pc kombu Seaweed ((about 3)
- 2 Tbsps Rice vinegar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp sugar
- ½ cup smoked Salmon (or ahi tuna)
- 1 toasted Nori seaweed
- 1 tsp Wasabi paste
Roll out half of the rice on a moistened work surface to a thickness of approximately 3/4-inch. Moisten a heart-shaped biscuit cutter with water and cut out 10 hearts. Cut 10 hearts out of the salmon or ahi tuna also. Brush one side with a little wasabi paste and lay on top of the rice hearts.
Cut the nori sheet in half crosswise and lay each halved nori sheet on a bamboo rolling mat, smooth side down. Cover with a layer of prepared rice (at room temperature) approximately 1/2-inch thick, but don't press the rice down too firmly. Leave a small border free on the long edges. Using your finger tip spread a little wasabi paste lengthwise on the rice. Roll up using the mat and form the rolls into heart shapes.
Healthy, because
This sushi is low in calories but rich in omega-3 fatty acids thanks to the tuna.
Even smarter
Try replacing the white rice with brown rice for added fiber.
