Wash the short grain sushi rice until the water runs clear.
Cook the rice with water and let it rest for 10 minutes with the lid closed.
Mix rice vinegar, sugar and salt and mix it into the rice, bring the rice to room temperature.
Wash the dry kanpyo and soak it in water for 10 minutes.
Cook the kanpyo with vegetable broth or kombu dashi, soy sauce and sugar for 15 minutes until tender.
Spread the rice thinly on the nori sheet, arrange the kanpyo strips in the middle and make a tight roll.
Cut into 6 pieces with a sharp knife and serve with wasabi and pickled ginger.
💡 Tip: Cooling the kanpyo completely in the cooking water ensures that the strips remain soft and shiny in the roll.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger.
