Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1.5 teaspoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
• 4 ounces Uni (sea urchin roe)
• 4 sheets Gluten-free nori sheets
• 0.5 teaspoons Wasabi (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Combine the washed rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil in the pot, reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Once cooked, let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the rice cooks, prepare the sushi seasoning. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked rice to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the vinegar mixture over the hot rice and gently fold it in with a wooden spoon or rice paddle. Avoid mashing the rice. Let the seasoned rice cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Cut the gluten-free nori sheets in half vertically to create 4 smaller strips (optional).

Step 6

Place a small amount of the cooled sushi rice on one end of a nori strip. Form it into a small oval or rectangle shape, leaving some nori exposed at the edges for wrapping.

Step 7

Place a piece of uni on top of the rice. Optionally, add a small dab of wasabi between the rice and the uni for extra flavor.

Step 8

Wrap the nori around the rice and uni, using the exposed edge of the nori to seal. If it doesn’t stick, gently dampen the edge with a touch of water.

Step 9

Repeat this process for the remaining rice, nori, and uni.

Step 10

Serve the gluten-free uni sushi immediately with gluten-free soy sauce or tamari for dipping and optional pickled ginger on the side.
