Here’s What To Do: It’s Easy

• Finely slice the stuffings- avocado & capsicum (if your being sneaky, you can add carrot or cabbage too just like Live Eat Learn’s recipe)


• Cut each cucumber in half, and hollow them out


• Stuff the hollowed cucumbers with cooked rice- press it to one side to leave room for the veggies


• Push the thin slices of veggies into the remaining gap in the cucumber


• Thinly slice the cucumber


• Ready! Serve with soy sauce if you like
