Makes 4 pieces
1. Mix apple and avocado cubes with mayonnaise in a bowl.
2. Cut 1 nori sheet: cut off a strip from the length measuring 3cm. Save this for another recipe.
3. Cut 4 nori strips using the given lines (approx. 3 cm x 15 cm each) and set aside to make the gunkan maki.
4. Form 4 x20 g sushi rice into oval balls with wet fingers.
5. Place a nori strip around each ball, "glue" it with a few grains of the sticky rice and press it well.
6. Place one portion of the prepared apple-avocado-mixture on each rice ball.
7. Arrange gunkan with fine apple strips and avocado to garnish and serve with Kikkoman soy sauce.
*For sushi rice (approx. 1 kg cooked sushi rice)
1. Cook 450g sushi rice in 450ml water according to pack instructions. Then season with 100 ml Kikkoman seasoning for sushi rice or alternatively a mix of 70 ml rice vinegar, 30 g sugar and 15 g salt.
Tip: When cooking rice, use the ratio of rice: water = 1 : 1. Less water is used when preparing sushi rice than when preparing conventional rice.
