how to make sushi style cucumber rolls..

ingredients
yeah you do not require seaweed[nori] in this!!
  • one large whole cucumber [peeled]
  • 1 cup boiled rice
  • 1 tsp mustard oil
  • 1tsp sugar
  • 1tsp salt
  • 1tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
method of preperation

peel the cucumber and hollow out the seeds n mush from inside using a small spoon/round peeling knife/scooper etc
keep aside
mix salt,sugar,oil,vineger,and lemon juice together with the rice 
mix well n cook this mix a lil for about 2 mins so that the rice become sticky
cool this mix for about 2-3 min at room temperature...
now fill in this rice mixture into the already hollowed out n kept cucumber shell
fill in the mix firmly /pressing into the cucumber using a scooper or a spoon
the pressure should be so much that the mixture is filled firmly but the cucmber shell does not tear or break
now keep aside for 1 min
using a SHARP knife and a firm hand cut the cucmber into thin slices.....make sure its a clean cut everytime so that the cutting does not get messy and the mix does not slip out of the cucumber...


serve with an assortment of
1]mustard sauce
2]tomato ketchup
3]salsa dip

enjoy your healthy cucumber sushi without nori ,with the fresh crunch of the cucumber and the tangy flavour of the rice...mustard oil can be replaced with olive oil.....or any other according to choice..
