Ingredients

New ingredient?
  • Nori / gim (roasted seaweed): Thin dried seaweed sheets used to wrap rice. Japanese nori is plain; Korean gim is often brushed with oil and salt. Where to buy
  • Short-grain (sushi) rice: Slightly sticky rice that holds its shape, so it's ideal for onigiri and gimbap. Calrose rice works well too. Where to buy
  • Rice vinegar: Mild, gentle vinegar for seasoning sushi rice and quick pickles. Where to buy

Method

  1. Season rice with vinegar.
  2. Spread on nori, add cucumber and roll.
  3. Slice with a wet knife.
