Homemade sushi
Today we have dared to make this Japanese recipe, because we love sushi. It's a bit laborious but worth it, overcome challenge! ;-)
Ingredients:
- 9 oz of special rice for sushi
- 12 oz of of water
- 2 tablespoons of vinegar of rice
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 fresh salmon loin
- 2 loins of sole
- 1 egg
- 3 sheets of nori seaweed
- 1/2 cucumber
- 1/4 avocado
- 3 crab sticks
- Sesame seeds
- Soja sauce
Recipe for rice:
- Wash the special sushi rice 3 times in cold water to remove the starch.
- In a pot with cold water, put the rice to boil over medium-high heat until the water starts to boil.
- Then reduce the heat and boil during 15 minutes or until rice has absorbed all the water. Put the lid on the pot throughout the process.
- Once the rice is cooked, let stand off the heat but in the pot for 5 minutes.
- Mix in a bowl two tablespoons of rice vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt (do not throw too much, because after we eat the sushi with soy sauce, which is already salt itself).
- Add the rice and stir well so that everything is well mixed with vinegar.
Recipe for maki and california rolls*:
- Spread the rice in a pan with a layer of film over and allow to cool (you can speed up the process a little fanning).
- Place a bamboo placemat to make sushi, placed above a layer of film over and nori (shiny side in).
- Spread a layer of rice above the surface of seaweed, leaving on the end 1 cm unfilled. Do not put too thickly, because then the roll will be too big.
- Put over the stuffed salmon, avocado, cucumber and crab.
- Start rolling with the help of bamboo placemat and the film to form the roll.
- Cut the roll into 6-8 pieces of equal thickness.
*For the california rolls the process is the same but changing the order of rice and seaweed: you need to put a layer of rice, seaweed and after, the filling.
Recipe for Niguiris:
- Take a small ball of rice with your hands and mold it until you have the elongated shape.
- Make a thin omelette, without bending it, to be of a single layer.
- Cut the salmon, sole and omelette strips the same as the rice ball and place on top.
All accompanied with a little soy sauce. If you like, I can also do wasabi and ginger, but not essential.
Bon appetit!
