Fruit Sushi
What You’ll Need:
1 ½ cups short grain rice
2 cups water
3 tbsp. sugar
¼ tsp. salt
1 cup coconut milk
1 ½ tsp. vanilla
Seasonal fruits (your choice):
Strawberries
Mango
Kiwi
Blackberries
Raspberries
Pineapple
Sushi rolling pad and wax paper
Instructions:
In a medium pot combine the rice, water, sugar and salt. Cook on low heat for about 20 minutes or until all the rice absorbs the water. Add the coconut milk and vanilla. The mixture should be moldable.
Lay a sushi rolling pad on a counter top, and place a square of wax paper over top. Spread the rice about ½ inch thick over the paper into approximately a 7″ x 5″ rectangle.
Slice fruit of choice into long pieces.
Lay the fruit pieces on the rice, and roll up carefully.
Optional: Blend ¼ cup raspberries with ¼ cup water to make a dipping sauce.
