きゅうり巻き

Cucumber, rice and nori, and nothing else. Sometimes that is the whole trick.

• Cucumber, cut cold and crisp.
• Sushi rice, seasoned and cooled to room temperature.
• Nori, wrapped tight around six pieces.

This is a traditional maki, rolled by hand and sliced to order, so the cucumber keeps its snap instead of going soft against the rice. Nothing is hidden in it and nothing needs to be. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free, and the cleanest thing on the counter for anyone reading the menu in a language they are still learning. Contains: soy.
