Flower Sushi

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice 
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar 
  • 1 tsp salt 
  • 1 tsp sugar 
  • 3 ½ sheets nori (seaweed) 
  • 1 cucumber 
  • 2 eggs 
  • 2 tbsp furikake 
  • 1 tbsp pink berry powder 

Instructions

  1. Cook the sushi rice in a rice cooker. 
  2. Once cooked, take half of the rice and mix in the pink berry powder to give the rice a light pink or purple hue. 
  3. In a small saucepan, heat the vinegar, salt, and sugar until dissolved or put it in a microwave for 30 seconds. Pour over the rice and mix well. 
  4. Make a thin egg sheet by whisking the eggs and cooking them in a pan like a crepe. Once cooked, roll it up and set aside. 
  5. Cut the cucumber into thin strips. 
  6. Cut the nori sheets in half. Take a small amount of rice and wrap it into a mini roll using the half-sheet of nori. Repeat to make 5 mini rolls — these will form the flower petals. 
  7. On a full sheet of nori, spread a thin, even layer of white rice, then sprinkle with furikake. 
  8. Begin assembling the flower by placing a rice roll, followed by a strip of cucumber, then another rice roll, and repeat, placing the rolled egg in the center. Carefully wrap everything together using the prepared nori sheet. 
  9. Wrap tightly, slice into pieces, and arrange on a plate. Enjoy your beautiful flower sushi!
