Ingredients
– 2 cups cooked rice
– A splash of rice vinegar
– A pinch of cane sugar
– 2 tablespoons tamari
– 2 tablespoons lime juice
– 2 to 3 nori sheets cut into quarters
– Half an English cucumber sliced into strips
– 1 ripe mango sliced into strips
– Half an avocado sliced into strips
– Pickled ginger
– Sesame seeds for sprinkling
– One-third cup mayonnaise
– 2 teaspoons sriracha
– A few dabs of umeboshi paste (optional)
– 3 ounces of baked tofu (optional)
– Basil leaves (optional)
– Microgreens (optional)
Instructions
1-First: prepare the rice by folding in a splash of rice vinegar, a pinch of cane sugar, and a pinch of salt into the hot 2 cups of cooked rice. Cover it and set it aside until youβre ready to use it, as this step adds a nice tang that enhances the overall flavor.
2-Next, make the dipping sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons tamari and 2 tablespoons lime juice in a small bowl for a zesty touch.
3-Then, stir together one-third cup mayonnaise and 2 teaspoons sriracha in another bowl to create the spicy mayo, which adds a kick to your wraps. Arrange everything on a platter: the 2 to 3 nori sheets cut into quarters, the prepared rice, sliced half an English cucumber, sliced 1 ripe mango, sliced half an avocado, pickled ginger, sesame seeds for sprinkling, and any extras like a few dabs of umeboshi paste, 3 ounces of baked tofu, basil leaves, or microgreens. This setup lets you mix and match fillings for a personalized meal.
4-Now, to assemble, place a nori square on a flat surface and spread a thin layer of rice over it, leaving space at the edges. Add your fillings in a line across the middle, then roll it up tightly and seal with a bit of water. For the best results, slice into pieces with a sharp knife and serve right away with the dipping sauce and spicy mayo. Remember, the whole process takes about 20 minutes, making it ideal for a fast lunch that serves 2 people.
