Preparation
First, cook the rice. Rinse it 2–3 times, then place it in a saucepan with 200 ml water and a pinch of salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the fillings. Crumble the tofu into separate bowls and mix each portion with its respective ingredients. Season with a little salt to taste. Wash the cucumber and slice it thinly.
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the sesame seeds and fluff the rice gently with a fork.
Prepare a small bowl of water. Lay a nori sheet on a work surface and place 2–3 tablespoons of rice in the centre. Top with a few cucumber slices, one of the fillings, and another 2–3 tablespoons of rice.
Turn the nori sheet so it resembles a diamond shape, then fold each corner into the centre over the filling to close the “sandwich”. Lightly moisten the edges with water to help seal everything together.
Serve as is or cut in half diagonally to create triangles.
