How to Make Fruit Sushi

Edit Article

Sushi certainly is delicious, but what about giving it a non-conventional twist? Change it up by using fruit to make a sweet dessert version of sushi.

Steps

1. 1

   Wash the rice. Empty the rice into a large bowl and fill it up with water. Use your hands to wash the rice until the water appears milky white. Then use a strainer to remove the water.

2. 2

   Cook the rice. Add the water, rice, salt, and sugar to a heavy bottomed saucepan and simmer. Lower the heat and continue to cook the rice for 12-15 minutes.

3. 3

   Add coconut milk. Pour some coconut milk into the rice after the rice has soaked up the water.

4. 4

   Allow the rice to cool. Remove the rice from the pot and transfer onto a lined tray to allow it to cool down.

5. 5

   Cut the fruits. Using a knife cut the fruit into long sticks just like sushi fillings are cut.

6. 6

   Spread rice onto plastic wrap. Scoop some of the rice either with your hands or with a spoon into a rectangular shape.

7. 7

   Place the fruit slices. Carefully put the strips of fruit about 2/3 away from the start of the rice.

8. 8

   Roll the sushi. Once you've added all the desired fruits roll the sushi tightly but carefully into a log like shape, making sure it doesn't unravel.

9. 9

   To serve. Place the sushi rolls onto a plate, alongside thinly sliced cantaloupe as pickled ginger and fresh fruit purée as soy sauce. Don't forget to eat with chopsticks!

Tips

• You can use chocolate syrup as a substitute for soy sauce or lime yogurt for wasabi.
• Feel free to use a sushi mat if you have one on hand.
• Drizzle some chocolate syrup on top for a creative touch and added sweetness.

Warnings
