Ingredients

Servings: 2
  • 200 g
    sushi rice or for example wholegrain or black rice
  • 2 tsp
    sushi vinegar or neutral vinegar or lime juice
  • 1
    avocado in slices
  • 1
    winter carrot cut into thin ribbons
  • 1/2
    cucumber in thin half slices
  • 150 g
    shelled edamame (soybeans) from the freezer, or fresh

    sweetcorn canned

for the wasabi mayonnaise dressing

  • 1 tbsp
    soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp
    (plant-based) mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp
    wasabi optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice according to the instructions on the packaging. Add the sushi rice vinegar and season with a little salt if desired. Let cool.

  2. Make the dressing by mixing all the ingredients. Do not like spicy food? Then leave out the wasabi.

Notes

Tip: furikake (rice seasoning) is a really tasty addition to the rice! It’s a mix of shredded seaweed and sesame seeds. You can find it at the Asian supermarket or at organic supermarkets. You can also shred a sheet of nori yourself, for a similar flavor!
