Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 sheets nori
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup cucumber, julienned
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and cutting vegetables. Slice avocado into thin strips, julienne cucumber, and thinly slice bell peppers.
- In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, sriracha, and water until smooth to create the spicy drizzle. Set aside.
- Place a nori sheet on a clean, flat surface with the shiny side facing down. Ensure the sheet is positioned horizontally.
- Spread 1/4 cup of cooked quinoa evenly across the bottom third of the nori sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer avocado slices, cucumber, and bell pepper strips on top of the quinoa, creating a colorful and balanced filling.
- Carefully roll the nori sheet tightly from the bottom, using gentle pressure to compact the ingredients. Moisten the top edge with a small amount of water to seal the wrap.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the wrap diagonally in half for easier eating.
- Repeat the process with remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
- Drizzle the spicy tahini sauce over the wraps just before serving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, vibrant Sunrise Nori Wraps.
Tips
- Moisture is Key: Keep a small bowl of water nearby to help seal your nori wraps and prevent them from unraveling.
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture and easier rolling.
- Sharp Knife Technique: Use a very sharp, clean knife when cutting your wraps to get clean, precise slices.
- Quinoa Prep: For extra flavor, cook your quinoa in vegetable broth instead of water.
- Customize Your Filling: Feel free to swap vegetables based on what's in season or your personal preference.
- Make Ahead Friendly: Prepare the components in advance and assemble just before serving to keep the nori crisp.
- Drizzle Dynamically: Add the spicy tahini sauce just before serving to maintain the wrap's structural integrity.
