When I made the Portuguese Meringue Cheesecake called Morotov, I was inspired to make this ultra fluffy version. But, it was not a cake, it just stopped at a meringue. If I'd made a bit more effort, it would have been wonderful - help please!
This is a side dish that can be made in 5 minutes. Its fresh crunchiness and umami of the salty seaweed will stimulate your appetite! It's less than 25kcal for 100g (one person's serving), so it's ideal for those who are dieting.
A general rule: half a nori sheet, 80g sushi rice placed with a 2cm gap across the top; the cucumber should be 1cm square long strips - then it should work out fine (probably).
Hot cooked rice, Sushi vinegar, Nori sheets, Cucumber
