Ingredients

  • 2-3 potatoes about 300g
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 can of tuna 80g
  • Steamed corn kernels 50g
  • 1 tsp crushed black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise or salad dressing as a substitute
  • A little chopped parsley optional, for decoration

Instructions

  • Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into even small pieces. This will ensure they cook at the same time. Steam the potato pieces over high heat for 15-20 minutes, or until they're soft and can be easily pierced with chopsticks. Once the potatoes are done, take them out of the steamer and mash them until smooth using a spoon or rolling pin. Stir in 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp crushed black pepper. Set the mashed potatoes aside.
  • Prepare the Cucumber: Wash the cucumber and use a vegetable peeler to slice it into long, even strips. Try to keep the slices intact and consistent in width. Once sliced, roll up each cucumber strip and set them aside.
  • Prepare the Tuna: In a bowl, add 50g of cooked corn kernels. Open the tuna can and drain out most of the olive oil. You can place the tuna in a sieve to let the excess oil drip out. Once drained, add the tuna to the bowl with the corn. Add 1/2 tsp crushed black pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp mayonnaise. Mix well until the tuna absorbs all the flavors.
  • Assemble the Sushi: Form the potato mixture into small balls. Carefully place each ball inside a cucumber roll and press them down to flatten. Top with the tuna salad mixture and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a little extra flavor and color.
