POV: “Lazy Sushi” 🍣 If you love sushi but can’t quite justify the rolling (or the price 👀), then this one’s for you!   While the rice cooks, prep your fillings and any veggie sides/“boosters” so by the time it’s done, all that’s left to do is assemble and eat.  And even better? For ultimate convenience, microwave sushi rice works perfectly too 👏  Choose your favourite filling (or prep a few for the week!) and serve with crunchy cucumber salad, quick pickled carrot, edamame or extra toppings for a little plant diversity boost 🌱 CRISPY CHICKEN, AVO & CREAM CHEESE 🍗  ½ cup short-grain/sushi rice 2 x air-fryer chicken tenders 1/2 avocado, sliced  ~2 tbsp cream cheese ½ nori sheet (or cut to size) Spring onion, sliced (to serve) Roasted sesame seeds (to serve) Sriracha mayo (optional, to serve) TUNA & AVOCADO 🥑  ½ cup short-grain/sushi rice 125g tuna, drained ~1-2 tsp mayo or yoghurt 1/2 avocado, sliced  ½ nori sheet (or cut to size) Spring onion, sliced (to serve) Roasted sesame seeds (to serve) Teriyaki sauce (optional, to serve) SALMON & CREAM CHEESE 🍣  ½ cup short-grain/sushi rice 50-100g smoked/cooked salmon  ~2 tbsp cream cheese ½ nori sheet (or cut to size) Spring onion, sliced (to serve) Roasted sesame seeds (to serve) Sriracha mayo (optional, to serve) METHOD/S: 1.Cook the rice: Prepare the short-grain/sushi rice according to packet instructions or in a rice cooker. For a fibre boost, try replacing ⅓ of the white rice with brown rice (e.g. if preparing 1½ cups rice, use 1 cup white rice + ½ cup brown rice). Or, for ultimate convenience, feel free to use microwave-style rice. 2.Prep your fillings while the rice cooks, including veggie sides: Salmon & Cream Cheese: slice the spring onion. Crispy Chicken: Air fry the chicken tenders (if not already cooked), then slice the avocado. Tuna & Avocado: Drain the tuna and mix with mayo or yoghurt, then the avocado. If time permits, once your rice is cooked, transfer onto a large flat baking tray and spread out evenly to speed up cooling time (cool for 5-10 minutes). 3.Construct your sushi: In a greased or cling-wrap lined container (I used a ~600mL container), layer the avocado and/or protein of choice, followed by the cooked (and cooled, if possible) rice. Press firmly to compress, top with a piece of nori (cut to size), then transfer onto a plate and slice carefully with a *sharp* knife!(sometimes wetting the knife can also help with a clean cut!). Serve with desired toppings and sides. Enjoy! 🫶 Serving suggestions: Spicy Cucumber Salad  Quick Pickled Carrot Edamame, thawed  Ginger  Wasabi SIDE RECIPES 👇   Spicy Cucumber Salad  1-2 Lebanese cucumbers, thinly sliced 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar  2 tbsp soy sauce  1-2 tsp Honey (to taste) 1-2 tsp chilli oil (to taste)  1 tsp roasted sesame seeds   Quick Pickled Carrot 1 carrot, julienned 1:1 ratio water to vinegar (until covered) Pinch salt (to taste) #sushi #sushicake #fakeaway #EasyRecipe #dinner - @dietitianrose
