Rinse the short-grain sushi rice until the water runs clear.
Cook the rice with the water and let it rest covered for 10 minutes.
Mix the rice vinegar, granulated sugar and salt into the hot rice and let it cool slightly.
Cut the cucumbers into long strips and remove the seeded center.
Place a half sheet of nori on the mat and spread a thin layer of rice on it.
Arrange the cucumber strips in the center and roll tightly.
Cut the roll into 6 pieces with a wet sharp knife.
Serve kappa maki with soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger.
💡 Tip: Removing the seeded center of the cucumber prevents the roll from becoming watery.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve chilled with wasabi, soy sauce and pickled ginger.
