Amount Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2             medium seedless cucumbers -- with skins
1              small carrot -- shredded
1                     avocado -- chopped
1            handful alfalfa sprouts
1                     nori sheet -- chopped into thin strips (optional)
2        tablespoons Hama shoyu
1           teaspoon wasabi paste
To make cucumber ribbons. trim the ends of each cucumber and use an
upright vegetable peeler (for wider ribbons) or a mandoline on the
thinnest setting. The ribbons should be very thin and slightly
transparent.
Stack up two cucumber ribbons at a time, and using your finger as a guide,
roll them into 1-inch circles. Stand each circle upright and lay the
inside layer flat to seal the bottom hole.
Fill each cucumber roll with a layer of shredded carrots, add some diced
avocado, and then top with sprouts and nori if using. Serve with nama
shoyu and wasabi paste on the side.
MAKES ABOUT 12 ROLLS
My go-to lunch back in my predetox days was a cucumber-avocado roll from
my local Japanese market with a pint of miso soup. That was as healthy as
it got for me. I patted myself on the back for ignoring the katsudon
(fried pork cutlet and egg over rice). Who would have thought I would
create a satisfying all-vegetable. no-starch alternative?
