This easy nori roll recipe combines refreshing cucumber, creamy avocado, protein-rich tofu, and crunchy alfalfa seeds. It's perfect for a healthy snack or light meal. The addition of soy sauce and sesame butter enhances the flavors, making it a delightful treat.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean, dry surface. If you don't have a mat, a clean tea towel will work fine.
- Place a sheet of nori on the bamboo mat, shiny side down.
- Spread a thin, even layer of cucumber strips along the bottom third of the nori sheet.
- Add a layer of avocado slices over the cucumber.
- Place the tofu slices on top of the avocado.
- Sprinkle the alfalfa seeds evenly over the tofu.
- Lift the bamboo mat (or tea towel) from the bottom edge of the nori. Using your fingers, tuck the filling in tightly as you start to roll the nori away from you.
- Roll the nori sheet firmly, applying gentle pressure to ensure the ingredients stay in place and the roll holds together well. Continue rolling until you reach the opposite end of the nori.
- Dip your fingers in a little water and lightly moisten the edge of the nori sheet to make it sticky. Press to seal the roll securely.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the nori roll into bite-sized pieces (usually about 6-8 pieces per roll). Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and sesame butter until well combined.
- Arrange the nori roll pieces on a serving platter.
- Serve with the soy sauce and sesame butter mixture on the side for dipping.
Tips:
- Choose firm tofu for better texture in the nori rolls.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumber and avocado thinly.
- Keep a bowl of water nearby to wet your hands, preventing the rice from sticking.
- Roll the nori tightly to ensure the ingredients stay intact when cutting.
- If you prefer, you can lightly toast the seaweed sheets for added flavor.
With minimal ingredients and simple preparation, these nori rolls are a quick and nutritious option. The contrast of textures from the crisp cucumber, smooth avocado, and alfalfa seeds make each bite refreshing and satisfying.
