Steps:

• Prepare all the ingredients.
• Separate the egg from the yolk. I use soil eggs, the yolk color is more beautiful.
• Pour the rice into a bowl with egg yolks, add a small spoonful of salt, and stir well, so that each grain of rice is covered with egg yolk liquid.
• Pour out the rice that has been fried until golden in color, put it in a bowl, and set aside.
• After the cucumber is cleaned, drain the water, cut in half, then take half and cut into three triangular strips.
• Dig a hole at the bottom of the rice cake and two at the top, cut into a shape similar to W.
• Wrap the cucumber strips and rice cakes with sushi nori, and wrap them as tightly as possible.
• Put a piece of plastic wrap on the sushi curtain, and then put a piece of sushi nori.
• Spread a layer of rice in the middle of the seaweed and spread it as evenly as possible.
• Take two cucumber strips and place them in the middle of the rice, leaving some distance between the two cucumbers. This is the part of the eye.
• Fill it with some rice and cover the cucumber strips with a thin layer. It does not need to be too thick.
• Put the remaining cucumber strip in the middle, which is used as the nose part.
• Spread a thin layer of rice on top of the cucumber strips, then fill the grooves of the rice cake strips with rice and place them in the middle.
• Cover all the rice cake strips with rice, and try to be even.
• Roll it up and let it sit for five minutes. When rolling, the tension should be moderate, too loose will loosen, too tight will deform, I just rolled too tight, my mouth is a bit crooked.
• Take a sharp knife, dip it in cold water, and cut the sushi into sections. A wet knife is easier to cut, and the cut surface will be beautiful.
• Poke a small hole in the sushi head, insert the cucumber strips, and the Halloween pumpkin lantern sushi is complete.
