Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1.25 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets nori sheets
- 1 large ripe mango
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 medium carrot
- 4 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and 1.25 cups of water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes or until water is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl until dissolved.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Peel the mango and slice it into thin strips. Peel the cucumber and carrot, then cut them into thin matchsticks.
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then spread a thin layer of cooked rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese along the bottom edge of the rice.
Arrange a few strips of mango, cucumber, and carrot along the cream cheese.
Lift the edge of the mat closest to you and roll away from you, pressing gently but firmly. Use the mat to compact the roll as you go.
Seal the roll by moistening the top border of the nori with a little water.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
Use a sharp, wet knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
Serve with low-sodium soy sauce for dipping.
