Starters & Appetizers: How To Make Cucumber Maki

Step 1: You will need…
some Nori
some Sushi Rice
some Cucumber strips
some sesame seeds
1 Sushi Rolling mat
1 Knife
1 Bowl of water

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2: Lay it out
Moisten your hands in a bowl of water. This will stop the rice from sticking to your fingers. Then spread a layer of sushi rice over the nori.

Leave about 1 cm, or half an inch bare at the top – you will need this bare strip to hold the roll in place. Make sure the rice lies evenly over the Nori as this will make the rolling stage far easier.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3: Fillings
Put the Nori and rice onto the makisu. Sprinkle on some sesame seeds, and then lay the cucumber strips horizontally across the centre

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4: Roll
Using the makisu, fold the maki and apply pressure. This shapes the maki. Fold the mat forwards once again and apply more pressure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5: Slice
To ensure a smooth cut, dip the end of your knife in water. Slice the maki in half. Trim off the uneven ends. Then cut the maki into 6 even pieces.

Display the maki on a plate with each piece facing up.
