Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 sheets Nori sheets
• 0.5 Cucumber
• 1 Carrot
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat cream cheese
• 1 Orange
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 1.25 cups water in a rice cooker or saucepan. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil in the saucepan, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl, gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a spatula, and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Peel and julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin strips.

Step 5

Peel the orange, separate the segments, and remove any seeds and the membrane to expose the flesh.

Step 6

Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a sushi mat covered with plastic wrap.

Step 7

With wet hands, evenly spread half of the cooled rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 0.5 inch border at the top edge.

Step 8

Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese horizontally along the center of the rice.

Step 9

Place half of the cucumber and carrot strips over the cream cheese.

Step 10

Starting from the bottom edge, use the sushi mat to carefully roll the sushi tightly, applying gentle pressure.

Step 11

Repeat the rolling process with the remaining nori sheet and ingredients.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 8 pieces. Top each piece with a slice of orange.

Step 13

Serve immediately with low-sodium soy sauce on the side for dipping.
