Homemade maki sushi

ugiug

Ingredients for 2 people

  • 4 leaves of Nori seaweed
  • rice for sushi cooked
  • wasabi
  • ginger pickles
  • soy sauce
  • smoked salmon or tuna drained without oil or crab
  • avocado or cucumber

Implementation

  1. First cut the fish or crab and avocado or cucumber into thin strips. Put in a bowl of water and a little vinegar to wet our hands and spread the rice more easily on the Nori seaweed.
  2. We put a nori sheet on the counter, the sheet has two sides, one is glossy and the other is rough and hard.
  3. Spread the rice on the hard side, creating a layer 4-6 mm thick. Optionally if we want a more spicy taste, add a little wasabi.
  4. Once we are done with the filling, wrap the seaweed. Hold the roll with your left hand and sprinkle it with water with your right hand.
  5. To prevent the rice from sticking, wet our knife with water as we cut the rolls into slices.
  6. For the wrapping of maki sushi it is better to use a bamboo mat which we will get from shops with Asian cuisine where you will find the ingredients for the recipe.
  7. We will also need a very sharp Japanese knife. Serve the sushi on a plate, put a small amount of wasabi on the edge and also ginger pickles (gari). In a separate bowl we can put a little soy sauce.
