Today I'm making makizushi (→
go to the sushi introduction) which is usually made for a celebration/picnic or a party. Basically you can roll anything, even a single thing which is called hosomaki. But if you roll a few items (futomaki), it's nice to choose colorful things. This time I decided to roll a Japanese omelet, cucumber and fish cake (salmon) which are easy to source outside Japan.
Ingredients:
nori
rice (1cup)
-vinegar (1tbsp)
-sugar (1tsp)
-salt
egg
cucumber
fish cake (or salmon)
1- Make a
fried egg and cut like a thin strip. Cut the cucumber and fish cake (salmon) to the same size.
2- Mix vinegar, sugar and a bit of salt and stir it well with the cooked hot rice.
3- Put a nori on the makisu (bamboo sheet), then the egg, fish cake and cucumber on top of the rice that is spread on the nori.
4- Roll all together with makisu, holding it tight. Cut the edge and cut in about 2cm pieces.
Itadakimasu!
