Ingredients
1 cup sushi (short-grain) rice
2-1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 (12-ounce) package Deli Cuts Honey Ham
2 large jalapeno chiles, cored, seeded, cut into thin length wise strips
To prepare sushi, place rice in a fine-mesh strainer. Rinse well under cold running water. Place rice in a medium pot with 1-1/2 cups water. Set aside to soak for 30 minutes. Bring rice to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender and water absorbed. Spoon rice into glass bowl. In a small pot, simmer vinegar and sugar together for 30 seconds or until sugar dissolves. Pour over rice, stirring gently but well. Cool.
Separate Deli Cuts Honey Ham into stacks using 2 slices for each. Place a heaping tablespoon rice on ham. Pat rice down. Dampen hands; rice is sticky. Arrange a chile strip on one end of ham slice. Tightly roll up. Cut roll in half. Place seam-side down on serving platter. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
To prepare dipping sauce, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin and sesame oil in a bowl. Sprinkle on chives.
