Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Monk fruit sweetener (or another sugar-free sweetener)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 4 pieces Fresh uni (sea urchin)
- 1 sheet Nori (seaweed), cut into thin strips
- 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (optional, ensure sugar-free)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Drain well.
Step 2
In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes to finish steaming.
Step 4
In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon monk fruit sweetener, and 0.5 teaspoon sea salt until dissolved.
Step 5
Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture while fanning the rice to help it cool to room temperature. Do not overmix to avoid smashing the rice.
Step 6
Take a small amount of cooled sushi rice (about 1 tablespoon) and form it into an oval shape using clean, damp hands.
Step 7
Place a small strip of nori across the middle of the rice, leaving the ends free, to help secure the uni later.
Step 8
Gently position one piece of fresh uni on top of the rice and lightly press to adhere. Repeat with the remaining rice and uni.
Step 9
Optional: Add a small dollop of wasabi paste under the uni for added heat and flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately with sugar-free soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
