Method
 

How to Make Fruit Sushi (Frushi)
  1. Rinse Rice: Place 1 cup short-grain sushi rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water until water is clear, about 2–3 minutes, for perfect stickiness.
  2. Cook Rice: Combine the rinsed rice, ¾ cup coconut milk, ¼ cup water, pinch salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes until tender.
  3. Steam Rice: Remove from heat and keep the pot covered for 10 minutes, allowing steam to create that ideal fluffy texture.
  4. Season Rice: Gently fold in the remaining 2 tablespoons coconut milk and 1 tablespoon sugar into the warm rice.
  5. Cool Rice: Spread the seasoned rice evenly on a clean baking sheet or tray. Let it cool to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  6. Lay Nori: Place one sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo rolling mat.
  7. Spread Rice: Press a thin, even layer of cooled rice onto the nori, leaving a ½-inch border.
  8. Arrange Fruit: Line up fresh strawberry slices, mango strips, kiwi slices, and blueberries across the rice's bottom third.
  9. Roll Tightly: Lift the bamboo mat edge and roll briskly, applying gentle pressure to form a firm roll.
  10. Slice Rolls: Using a sharp knife dipped in water, cut the roll into 6–8 pieces.
