SUSHI ❤
Hey Guys ;)
Today i want to share the way i make my Sushi Rolls :D
What you need for making your own Sushi :
Rice : best is Sushi Rice, but this time i used normal Asian rice, which you can buy at any Asian store
Nori : it's japanese algea, you can also get it at Asian food stores
Vinegar : In Asian stores you can get Sushi Vinegar, but normal white Vinegar is also fine
Sugar
Sesame (optional)
Caviar (optional, some people might not be used to caviar, but if you like it you can add those on top like the sesame)
Salmon : best is really fresh Salmon, but I know that especially in germany raw fresh fish is hard to get --> You can also use smoked salmon, which you can get at any grocery store
Tuna : also fresh Tuna is rare in Germany, but if you want to make spicy Tuna Sushi Rolls you can use Tuna from the can and add spicy sauces
cucumber
avocado (my favorite <3)
Cream Cheese
Surimi : This is prepared fish with crab flavor, you can get it at Asian Food Store
Soy Sauce
Wasabi
Pickled Ginger

You will also need a sushi mat, a wet cloth and an asian rice spoon
1) First cook the Sushi Rice as described on the back of the package and let it cool down. Please don't put it in the fridge or in too cold places. Meanwhile you can cut the cucumber , avocado in fine strips. When the rice cooled down you can add vinegar and sugar (as desired). Don't forget to roast your sesame (that's always the step i forget xD)!
You can cut the smoked salmon into strips but i usually just leave it like it is. If you use fresh fish (salmon, tuna, whitefish) you have to cut it into stripes.

Now you can start to roll the Sushi. The easiest way to roll Sushi is Maki :
Lay your Nori on the sushi mat and put rice on it until 3/4 of it is covered with rice (not to thick!). You can add the stuff you like to your sushi roll : for example avocado and salmon. Start rolling it up putting evenly pressure to it until you reach the end.

These are normal Maki Rolls :
Inside-Out-Makis : (picture above)
You can also make Inside-Out-Makis (this can be a little bit more difficult) :
Lay your Nori on your sushi mat and put rice on it (use your asian rice spoon) and now turn it upside down and lay a wet cloth between the sushi mat and the Nori with the rice faced down. Add your favorite ingredients and roll it up carefully (the rice is really sticky xD).
You can now add sesame or caviar on top of the Inside-Out-Maki-Sushi-Roll.

To cut the Sushi rolls into pieces wet your knife with vinegar and make sure the knife is sharp enough. Serve your selfmade sushi with soy sauce, Wasabi and Pickled Ginger. And don't forget your chopsticks ;) !!
