Yield: 7 servings (serving size: 1 cup)
Ingredients:
* Rice:
* 2 cups uncooked sushi rice
* 2 cups water
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt
*
Dressing:
* 1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
* 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
* 1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
* 1 garlic clove, minced
* 1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon prepared wasabi (Japanese horseradish; optional)

Remaining ingredients:
* 1 cup (2-inch) julienne-cut peeled English cucumber
* 1/4 cup minced red onion

Preparation
To prepare rice, rinse rice thoroughly in a sieve. Drain well. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan; add rice and salt. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; uncover and cool to room temperature.
To prepare dressing, combine vinegar and next 5 ingredients (vinegar through garlic) in a small bowl. Add wasabi, if desired. Combine cooled rice, dressing, cucumber, onion, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. Sprinkle evenly with nori.

Looks and sounds dee-lish!
Oh yum!
I love just about anything with rice. It looks and sounds yummy!
joining the chorus of yums!
This is what I love about summer, these light, dee-lish dishes!
Yum! Thank you for the recipe and the quote by Madame Benoit!
I will save this for a later time, since right now I'm back on South Beach so I can get into my jeans (which means no rice). BTW, I bought "The Intention Experiment" yesterday and am plowing my way through it. Could be awhile; it's heavy duty.
Looks fun and easy for summer eating.
What a lovely summer dish.
Yum. Squared.
Yummie......I love rice vinegar...this is a must try.
Thanks
I will be coming back for this recipe in a few days when I have house guests in prep for the wedding. It sounds fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
Sounds and looks yummy. It would take me longer to garner all the ingredients than it would to make it and eat it. I was more interested in cooking once than I am these days.
That sounds so yummy! I already have all those ingredients. I think I will try this recipe tomorrow night. Thanks.
Just stopped by to say
:o) Hope you had a Happy Monday!
What a wonderful, light summer dish.
Thanks for the recipe.
Looks delicious! You must be a fabulous cook!
I need to try this. Thanks for posting.
Nancy, This recipe looks sinfully delicious! I love sushi and rice, so I will give this one a try. I need to eat light after the weekend I had. Thanks for sharing!
This looks wonderful! I've bookmarked this to try!
Mmmmmmmmmmm.. I GREW UP ON THIS KIND OF FOOD. :-)
S.C.W.
I love Sushi. Sadly, I can only eat the vegetarian kind. It's vegan sushi night this Saturday at my favorite restaurant. :) You've made me hungry.
