Sushi Cucumber Salad by Pinterest

Ingredients

• 2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced or ribboned
• 1 cup sushi rice, uncooked
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp sriracha
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp green onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water for 1 minute, then combine it with the water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
3. Remove from the heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork and cool slightly.
4. Stir together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved, then fold the mixture into the warm rice until glossy and seasoned.
5. Arrange the cucumber slices in a bowl or on a plate, then spoon the rice over them and top with avocado slices.
6. Whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, mayonnaise, and sriracha for 30 seconds until smooth, then drizzle over the salad.
7. Finish with sesame seeds and scallions, then serve immediately while the cucumbers are crisp and the rice is slightly warm.
