| INGREDIENTS: | ||
| 1 recipe Sushi Rice seasoned as directed | 2 tablespoons white vinegar | 1 tablespon sugar |
| 1 tablespoon sake | 1/2 teaspoon salt | 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel |
| 1/2 pound medium-size cooked shrimp, chopped, or cooked clams | 1 Japanese cucumber or 1/2 European cucumber, seeded if necessary and diced | 3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts |
| 1/4 cup frozen petit green peas, thawed | 2 small green onions, thinly sliced | 2 tablespoons pink pickled gingerroot (amazu shoga), shredded |
| 12 Boston lettuce leaves | ||
| 1 | Cook the rice. As the rice cooks, combine vinegar, sugar, sake, salt and lemon peel in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat 1 minute, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat. Scoop hot rice into an odorless, damp wooden bowl or glass bowl. Drizzle dressing over rice; lightly cut through and turn rice with a damp rice paddle or large wooden spoon. As you work, fan the rice so that it cools quickly and becomes glossy. |
| 2 | When the rice is completely cool, mix in remaining ingredients except lettuce. To serve, spoon a small portion of rice mixture onto a lettuce leaf. Fold the sides of the lettuce over to enclose rice. Eat the packet out of hand. Rice can also be eaten with chopsticks or a fork. |
