Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup rice vinegar

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

1 cup cucumber strips

1 cup cooked sweet potatoes

2 cups cooked short-grain rice

4 sheets nori sea vegetable

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

 

In medium mixing bowl, combine rice vinegar and sesame oil. Add cucumber

strips, stir carefully, and let marinate for 3 to 4 hours. Remove from marinade

and drain briefly.

 

With hand mixer or blender, whip sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy.

 

To prepare sushi: Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Place 1/2 cup

of rice on plastic wrap and press out to the size of a sheet of nori. Place a

sheet of nori on top of rice, and then spread 1/4 cup whipped sweet potatoes on

nori; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Arrange 1/4 cup cucumber strips in center.

Leaving plastic wrap in place, roll up from the outside and dampen edge to seal

(rice will be on the outside of the roll). Let chill for several hours before

slicing.

 

Slice with a damp knife into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on a serving

platter. Serve cold

NOTES : Since cooked rice is always on hand in Steven Seagal's kitchen, chef

Tiffany Brown's sushi is a natural choice for last-minute lunches and

spur-of-the-moment entertaining.
