Speckled Sushi Rice with Nori

If you want something light and tasty to offer your guests with drinks or tea, try this colorful vegetarian sushi rice salad. It is seasoned with a rice vinegar dressing, then sprinkled with sesame seeds, shiso, and cucumber. Everyone simply wraps a spoonful of the rice in a small piece of nori, for a casual hands-on snack. It is not difficult to make respectable sushi rice at home. Just make sure not to overcook it—you want firm grains, so be sure to cool the rice as soon as it is done.
