🍽 Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1 1/4 cups Water
• 2 Roti
• 1/2 Avocado
• 1/4 Cucumber
• 1/4 cup, julienned Carrots
• 1 tbsp Oil

📖 Instructions

1. First things first, let’s get that rice cooking! Rinse 1 cup sushi rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch. Combine the rinsed rice with 1 ¼ cups of water in a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork – this is crucial! If you don't fluff it properly, you might get gloopy Sushi Roti and nobody wants that! Trust me, I've been there.
2. Meanwhile, while that rice is doing its thing, grab your roti. If you’re using store-bought, just make sure they're at room temperature. If you're making your own (and more power to you!), ensure they're perfectly cooked and have cooled down slightly. Lightly brush each roti with oil, it helps prevent sticking. Pro tip: use a neutral-flavored oil so it doesn't overpower the delicate flavors of your Sushi Roti.
3. Okay, let's talk fillings. Get creative! Thinly sliced avocado, cucumber, carrots (julienned, of course!), crab sticks... it’s a Sushi Roti party in your kitchen! Remember, less is more when it comes to the fillings, so don't go overboard, unless you are feeling adventurous, in which case, go wild!. I had a friend who put mango and chili in hers – and she is a genius.
4. Spread a thin layer of the cooked sushi rice evenly over each roti. Don’t press down too hard, you just want a nice, even coating. Now for the fun part: arrange your choice of fillings along the center of the rice. I usually arrange them in a nice line – visually appealing! You are creating art here, people!
5. Gently fold the sides of the roti inwards, over the fillings. Then, carefully roll it up from the bottom, just like you're making a burrito, kind of. Once you've created your little Sushi Roti burrito, you can use a toothpick or kitchen twine to secure it. It helps keep everything from escaping and makes it easier to handle.
6. And there you have it: your very own Sushi Roti creation! You can serve them immediately or, if you’re feeling fancy, pan-fry them lightly in a little oil until they're golden brown and crispy. It adds a satisfying textural element and who doesn't love a crispy roti? Serve with your favorite dipping sauce – soy sauce, sriracha mayo, or even a sweet chili sauce are all great options. Enjoy! I really hope you enjoyed this experiment in fusion cuisine as much as I did. You deserve some well-deserved Sushi Roti!
