Macrobiotic: "Fake" Cucumber Sushi Rolls

My friend made these for me once and I wanted to try making a macrobiotic version.
Place the umeboshi on top of the side of the cucumber with the skin. If the umeboshi comes into contact with the moist cucumber flesh, it will become too wet. Instead of cucumber you can fill these rolls with Japanese yams, cooked dried shiitake mushrooms, carrots boiled in salt water, tamagoyaki, etc. Whatever you want! Recipe by Ruruko

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the sheet of seaweed in half. Cut the cucumber to the same length as the crosswise length of the sheet of seaweed. Cut it thinly or it will be hard to roll later. Take out the pit from the umeboshi and finely mince.
- 2
Add the sliced nori seaweed to a sushi mat and on top of that, half of the cooked rice (about 80 g). With wet hands, push the rice down flat. Lay the sliced cucumber and umeboshi on top the rice and roll it whilst pressing the ends.
- 3
Position the rolls with the seam side down and leave them to rest. Once the seaweed starts to tightened up, cut the roll into bite-sized pieces.

Broccolini and Shrimp Sushi Rolls Broccolini and Shrimp Sushi Rolls
I love making different gunkan maki sushi rolls for guests, and this is one of them.The nori may not stick well right after wrapping the gunkan maki. But if you stick the nori seaweed with some rice, or place another gunkan maki up against the sealed end, it will eventually stick together. My family actually likes to use spicy mayonnaise, but feel free to use whatever you like. Recipe by HaradaKiTN cookpad.japan -

This sushi roll has all of my family's favorite things. The Ehomaki (lucky direction rolls) that we eat during the Setsubun festival is the sushi roll that has 7 ingredients, just like the The Seven Deities of Good Fortune.I'm thinking of adding one more filling to this sushi to gobble it up on Setsubun.You could also use wiener sausages or fish sausages instead of spam. Add whatever ingredients you desire. It will look nice and colorful if you consciously add red, yellow, and green ingredients. For 4 rolls. Recipe by Taunbi- cookpad.japan -
Lettuce Sushi Rolls Lettuce Sushi Rolls
When I was young, I often asked my mother to put these in my bentos for excursions and sporting events. I love how it feels like a salad, even though it's actually a main dish.Apparently, these lettuce rolls are originally from Miyazaki prefecture!! I had no idea. I live somewhere else, but I had them all the time as a child, so I grew up thinking they were known throughout the country. If you've never had these before, please give them a try! I've heard that people in Miyazaki use boiled shrimp instead of crab sticks! That sounds good, too!I didn't include cucumbers here, but they make a great filling for these rolls as well.This dish is a great when lettuce is inexpensive! Recipe by pom130 cookpad.japan -
