Lazy Sushi

Heya,

Long time no see :) I'm currently as uni so making lots of my own meals. I try to keep my meals, balanced, filling and most importantly tasty. I've always been a foodie so beans on toast or pasta and cheese don't usually do it for me! as part of a new section of my blog I wanted to share some of my favourite uni meals (more so as ideas and inspo than recipes!) and also share the prices (based off Morrisons as that is my current supermarket of choice and probably the UK average) to show you how easy and cheap cooking at uni can be.

As you may know, my favourite food is sushi. If I bought sushi as frequently as I ate it at home, I would be out of budget relatively quickly (although the Yo Sushi student discount has been a live safer!!) so I wanted to make it. I have made sushi in the past but sourcing raw fish and "fancy ingredients" as well as making sushi rice is normally a challenge. Since I discovered you can buy pre-made sushi rice, this recipe has been a game changer. whilst more expensive than some of my meals its still not pricy and most importantly tastes delicious. I hope this recipes meet your sushi craving as much as it meet mine!

 

Here is my recipe for Lazy Sushi:

Ingredients: (Serves 1) - total cost: £2.61 (obviously this changes depending on what veggies & fish you choose)

• 3 pieces of Nori (£0.90)
• 1 pack Veetee Sushi Rice (£0.69)
• 1 can Tuna (£0.74) you can also use salmon, I generally use what I have available 
• 100g Cucumber (£0.17)
• 1-2tbs Soy Sauce, to serve (£0.11)

Method:

1. Heat your rice accordingly to the packet
2. Lay out your nori on a sushi mat (if you don't have one, cling film works fine)
3. Place about a third of the rice across the seaweed- careful not to touch it too much as this is when it gets harder to spread
4. Place a thin layer of your toppings across the centre of the rice
5. Roll as tightly as you can
6. Slice into 6-8 pieces
7. Enjoy!!
