  			Make sushi rice with sesame dressing and roll cannned sardines and cream cheese with lettuce. I am not sure this is Japanese food but I love sushi and try to cook something different always. Cheap food costs but great nuturitious food. I used cream cheese so that even not big fan of sushi people could try.

  	Recipe Steps:
  	
  		  			- 1.Rinse rice several times in running water until water gets clear. Drain in a colander. Cook in a sauce pan with a lid or rice cooker according to package directions. Note, just a little bit less than package directions so that rice is cooked a little bit harder. (To make perfect sushi rice, rice should be cooked little bit harder than regular rice)
 
  		  			- 2.While rice is cooking, in a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and sesame seeds oil. Mix well. Cut cream cheese into half inch matchsticks. Rinse lettuce and drain sardines.
 
  		  			- 3.When rice is done, transfer to the medium bowl and add 2 and mix gently. Don’t stir too much. Let it cool.
 
  		  			- 4.Place 2 tablespoons of sushi rice on one leaf of lettuce. Then place 1 stick of cream cheese and 1 piece of sardine. Wrap it folding right and left. Make 8-10 rolls.
