Equipment:

METHOD
- Place chopped jicama in food processor until finely chopped.

- Place nori sheet on the sushi mat.
- Spread approx 2 tbsp of jicama along the top of the nori sheet ( closest to you)
- Lay each vegetable along on top of the jicama.
- When done laying out the veg, start to roll up the sushi mat, with the nori sheet inside.
- Keep moving the mat forward in a rolling motion to make a complete roll.
- Remove mat. To “ seal” the edges of the sushi seaweed roll you may need to add a tiny bit of water along edge stick.
- Sprinkle some sesame seeds if desired.
