These Cucumber & Avocado Sushi Bites are a simple way to turn humble odds and ends into something a bit special. No rolling required - just spoon, stack, and drizzle. Cream cheese brings the richness, avocado adds that buttery bite, and a splash of soy ties it all together. Great for a summery lunch platter, or as a pick-me-up when the fridge is looking sparse but your rice game is strong.

INGREDIENTS:

  • ½ cup sushi rice (uncooked)
  • 2 tsp rice wine vinegar or sushi seasoning
  • 1 cucumber
  • Cream cheese (½ tsp per cucumber round)
  • ½ avocado, cut into small cubes
  • Sesame seeds
  • Kewpie mayo or sriracha mayo (your choice)
  • Soy sauce, for dipping

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly and cook according to the packet instructions. Stir through the rice wine vinegar or sushi seasoning, then set aside to cool.
  2. Slice the cucumber into 10–12 rounds (depending on size). Use a spoon to scoop out part of the centre of each round to create a small cavity - snack on the middles or save them for a smoothie.
  3. Fill each cucumber round with cooled sushi rice, pressing it down gently.
  4. Add ½ tsp cream cheese to each round, then top with a small cube of avocado.
  5. Drizzle with kewpie mayo or sriracha mayo, sprinkle over sesame seeds, and serve with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
