Preparation Time: 1 hour
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
2 large cucumbers
1 cup sushi rice
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large ripe avocado thinly sliced.
1/2 cup julienned carrots
1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper.
2 tablespoons CBD oil
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce for dipping
Wasabi and pickled ginger, for serving.
Instructions
- First, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add the rinsed rice and 1 1/2 cups of water to a medium saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
- Once the rice is done, move it to a large wooden or glass mixing bowl. While it is still warm, gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
- While the rice is cooling, prepare your cucumbers. Cut off the ends of each cucumber, then use a vegetable peeler to slice them lengthwise into thin, flat strips.
- Now, it’s assembly time! Lay a cucumber strip flat, then carefully spread a thin layer of sushi rice onto the cucumber, leaving a small space at one end for sealing the roll.
- Lay a few slices of avocado, a bit of carrot, and red bell pepper onto the rice. Remember, don’t overload the cucumber strip; moderation is key to a well-balanced sushi roll!
- Drizzle the CBD oil evenly over the filling ingredients. Be sure to measure correctly for the right effect.
- Carefully roll the cucumber strip, using the empty, rice-less end to seal the roll. You might find this tricky at first, but fear not – practice makes perfect!
- Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber strips and ingredients. Once finished, use a sharp knife to cut the cucumber sushi rolls into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve your beautiful sushi rolls with a side of low-sodium soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
