Homemade Sushi
Description
We all love sushi as a family. I really appreciate one of my Japanese friends for teaching me how to make sushi and I would like to share the recipe here.
You don’t need to be an expert but it takes time to get used to how to roll it. I was very slow at the beginning, but it gets better and quicker each time...
Ingredients
Preparation
-
Making the rice:
-
Place 1 cup of sushi rice in a medium pot.
-
Add 1 1/4 cups cold water. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and cover.
-
Simmer for 20 minutes or until water is absorbed.
-
Remove from heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes.
-
Stir in 2 tablespoons of sushi vinegar and mix well.
-
Bring to a bowl and wait until it cools down a bit.
Making the rolls:
-
Prepare your veggies and seafood while waiting.
-
Place your bamboo mat on the counter, wrap it in plastic wrap.
-
Lay a sheet of seaweed on top.
-
Spread a thin layer of rice on the sheet and leave a little extra space at the end.
-
Place your veggies and seafood on top of the rice.
-
You can pick different ingredients for each roll. It can be salmon, avocado, and cucumber.
-
Or crab, cream cheese, and avocado. Or shrimp, green onion, and cucumber...You can make different combinations according to your taste.
-
-
-
Roll it up tightly with your bamboo mat.
-
-
-
Then cut the sushi roll into pieces using a sharp knife.
-
-
-
I put the knife under running water from time to time while doing this step, to avoid it sticking to the rice.
-
Sprinkle with sesame seed if you desire.
-
Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
Bon Appetit!
