Instructions

Step 1

Cook rice according to package instructions. It is preferable to use short to medium grain rice. To save time, cook rice ahead of time, refrigerate, and heat up briefly for 1-2 minutes in the morning.

Step 2

Once rice is cooled well enough to handle, season one cup of rice lightly with a sprinkle of salt and dash of sesame oil.

Step 3

Lay flat one large nori sheet onto middle of saran wrap making sure saran wrap is larger than the nori sheet.

Step 4

Take 1/2 cup of rice and pat flat in middle of nori sheet. Layer on lettuce, meat, and cheese. Then pay down the rest of the rice.

Step 5

Wrap the rice sandwich by pulling all four corners in the middle. Turn the sandwich upside down so opening faces downward and wrap with the saran wrap.

Step 6

Allow some time before cutting in half. Pack in a bento box or mini sandwich bag.
