Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 2 cups cooked rice with 1 tbsp sesame oil and 0.5 tsp salt; mix well and let cool slightly.

  2. Step 2

    Lightly sauté the 1 julienned carrot in a dry pan over medium heat until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo mat. Spread 1/2 cup rice evenly over the sheet, leaving a 1 inch strip at the top.

  4. Step 4

    Layer the carrot and 1 oz protein in a line across the rice. Roll tightly, wet the bare strip with water, and press to seal.

  5. Step 5

    Slice each roll into 6 pieces with a sharp knife. Serve immediately or pack for lunch.
