So, in order to make sushi at home you will need the following ingredients:
- rice (300-350 grams);
- noria sheets (seaweed pressed into a sheet, you will need approximately 5 sheets);
- pink salmon fillet, salted in oil;
- fresh cucumber (one is enough);
- butter (40 grams);
- salt (a little less than a teaspoon) and vinegar (one tablespoon).
1)
Place the rice in a suitable container. You can use special sushi rice, but regular rice also works well.
2)
Rinse the rice thoroughly and soak in warm water for half an hour. Then simmer over low heat for no more than 10 minutes.
3)
Drain the water, add oil, salt and vinegar. Stir and let cool.
4)
Place the noria sheet with the smooth side on a plastic bag (I use the bag instead of a bamboo napkin).
5)
Cut the cucumber into four strips, drain the oil from the pink salmon fillet.
6)
Spread the cooled rice evenly onto a sheet of noria.The sheet absorbs moisture from the rice, becomes elastic and rolls without much difficulty.
7)
Also spread the filling in strips along the entire length of the sheet.
8)
Then carefully wrap it in a roll. Cut into slices with a knife previously soaked in water. From one such “roll” you get 6-7 rolls, not counting the side waste.
9)
This is how delicious it turns out.
10)
It is better to eat sushi with soy sauce, as it adds some spiciness. You can experiment with the filling, for example, instead of a fresh cucumber, take a salted one, or a fresh avocado, and replace the fish with chicken, mushrooms, or ham. In general, anything.
