Rolls with cucumber

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make cucumber rolls? Prepare all the ingredients necessary for this.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the cucumber in running water, dry with paper towels and cut off the ends on both sides. Now cut the cucumber (it should have a peel, it is advisable to take a young and very fresh cucumber for this) lengthwise into four parts. Remove all seeds. Now cut each part lengthwise into long straws. The thickness of each should not exceed one centimeter.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse the rice until clean. Place it in a saucepan, add water in a 1:1 ratio, and put on fire. When the water boils, reduce the heat and cover the pan with a lid. It’s good if it is transparent, then you can see when all the water is absorbed into the rice. After this, let the rice stand covered for 10 minutes. At this time, mix the vinegar with salt and sugar, heat a little, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve. Pour vinegar into rice and stir.

4. STEP 4

   

   Spread a sheet of nori on a mat, wetting your hands in the vinegar solution; to do this, stir a teaspoon of vinegar in a bowl of water. Spread the rice evenly over the surface. Leave a 1.5 cm space at the edge of the seaweed.

5. STEP 5

   

   Spread the rice evenly over the surface. Leave a 1/2 inch gap at the edge of the seaweed.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place a “sausage” of rice in the center of the nori, and, moistening your finger with wasabi, draw a thin line along it.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the cucumbers on a strip of wasabi.

8. STEP 8

   

   Carefully, helping with a mat, begin to roll the roll.

9. STEP 9

   

   The recipe is designed for 6 rolls, one slice of cucumber in each.

10. STEP 10

    

    Cut cucumber rolls at home with a sharp knife. I got 6 rolls.

11. STEP 11

    

    That's it, the lean rolls with cucumber are ready and can be served. The rolls are served with wasabi sauce, pickled ginger and soy sauce. Bon appetit!

I really love rolls, and I especially like the simple ones, with cucumber, salmon, and shrimp. This time I just prepared rolls with cucumber. I used a certain variety of cucumbers for the rolls, because the taste of the rolls themselves depends on their taste. These cucumbers are never bitter, dense, not watery and tasty. Just what you need for food) My rice is regular round grain, but not crushed. I added a little sugar to the rice vinegar for taste. I decided not to lubricate it with anything and not to add pepper, I just wanted a clean taste. The rice for this recipe turned out great, it stuck together well and didn’t crumble. The finished rolls are tasty, juicy, and soy sauce complements them well. Rolls are generally easy to roll, you just have to try it, so I recommend diversifying your menu with this appetizer) Thanks to the author for the recipe.

I also really like rolls, but I prefer them with fish. However, I have never prepared them myself, so I should start with this simple recipe for rolls with cucumber) I hope that I will succeed) I want to learn it myself, because I hope it will be cheaper than ordering it in a restaurant) Moreover, I myself You can’t fool yourself with food and their quantity... So....most of all I like it that besides fish there is a cucumber, and not an avocado, because it is juicier.

These cucumber rolls, which can be prepared every day or used for holidays, are served with wasabi, ginger, soy sauce and, of course, chopsticks. I also added bell pepper. Thanks for the idea. In general, it is not necessary to make the rolls lean.

I love rolls! I think that not only cucumber can be wrapped in lean ones... But also avocado and tomato. It will also be very tasty. The main thing is to cook the rice for the rolls correctly. By the way, I buy regular round grain... IT differs little from special sushi rice, but it costs an order of magnitude cheaper! It’s also a pity that not all stores carry rice vinegar. BUT I buy the regular apple one, it doesn't taste much different!
