Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 2 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
- 4 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions and let cool slightly.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread about ¾ cup of sushi rice evenly over it, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- Add mozzarella slices, basil leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, and prosciutto across the center of the rice layer.
- Roll the nori away from you using the bamboo mat while applying gentle pressure to form tight rolls. Seal the edge with a little water.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife between cuts for cleaner slices.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving and enjoy!
