Directions

• Prepare the sushi rice by following the recipe link.
• Cook 1 cup of the rice in regular water.
• Cook ¼ cup of azuki beans in 2 cups of water in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes. Drain the beans and use 1 cup of the azuki bean water to cook the second cup of rice.

• Place the 1 cm nori strips on both sides of the cheese.
• Top the 1 cm nori sheets with Kanpyo sheets.
• Place another 1 cm nori strip over the Kanpyo strips.
• Fill the top half with white rice, shaping it like a semi sphere.
• Place the mould lid on and press it down firmly.
• Take the sushi roll out of the mould and roll onto a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi rolling mat.
• Wrapped the nori sheet around the sushi by rolling the bamboo mat.
• Wet the edge of the nori sheet with water so that it will seal the sushi.
