Description

This watermelon nigiri is a real eye-catcher and tastes surprisingly delicious! The watermelon is marinated and baked, giving it a slightly meaty texture reminiscent of tuna. I like to make this recipe in the summer when watermelons are especially juicy. The preparation is a bit more complex, but the result is worth it! Perfect as a vegan alternative to traditional nigiri or as an extraordinary finger food for parties and special occasions. The combination of sweet watermelon, salty soy sauce and nutty sesame is simply irresistible.
