Dishes of Japanese cuisine have long been popular in our country. Rolls, gunkans, miso soup, gedza - favorite dishes of our compatriots, but sushi and rolls are most preferred. Making sushi at home is not so difficult.
To make sushi we need rice. In Japan, they use special rice - nishiki, it sticks well after cooking. Such rice can be purchased in specialized stores. If you have not found such rice, this is not a reason to abandon the idea to try using a sushi recipe at home. You can take white, round-grain, polished rice, it glues no worse.
No recipes for making sushi at home can do without red fish and nori - dry seaweed in which you will wrap rolls. You can also take fresh tuna, smoked eel, king prawn, squid, cucumber, caviar, crab sticks, sausage, cheese, in general, everything your heart desires.
Of course, a sushi recipe at home doesn't necessarily include wasabi sauce and pickled ginger, but you still get them.
Prepare the ingredients
Boil the rice for full cooked. While it is cooling, it is necessary to prepare fish, seafood and other ingredients. All the filling must be cut into long thin strips, and that which cannot be cut, for example, caviar, put in small bowls.
Take the board and the knife, which should be very sharp, also prepare a container of hot water, where you can rinse the knife from rice gluten. It would be optimal to get a special
bamboo board for cooking rolls, but its absence is not a disaster.
Let's start the process of making rolls.
We put a sheet of nori on the board and begin to lay out rice on it - from the edges, moving evenly to the center, since when the sheet becomes wet, the nori starts to shrink and tear.
Having completely covered the nori with rice, we lay out the path from the ingredients, stepping back from the edge of the sheet for about three centimeters. You can choose any filling that you think is delicious. You can make rolls with only one ingredient, the so-called poppy rolls, you can combine different fillings and make more complex options. It all depends on your preference. The sushi recipe at home, as well as in the restaurant, has certain classic combinations: soft cheese with red fish, eel with crab and avocado, crab with avocado and soft cheese, red fish with soft cheese and caviar.
Soft cheese is added to the rolls so that they are not dry. The restaurants use the Philadelphia cheese, but you can use the familiar: viola, almette, hohland and even fetaki.
After putting the ingredients, spin the roll tight, starting from the end from which you retreated three centimeters and put the filling. Take a knife and divide the roll into equal parts. Your rolls are ready. Put them on a dish, use wasabi and ginger to decorate, and take soy sauce instead of salt.
As you can see, using sushi recipe at home is quick and easy.
Bon Appetit.
