Making maki sushi

Do you like Asian food? I really do! Chinese and Japanese cuisine I love them both. So I decided to write on our blog a recipe how to make a maki sushi. Have you ever tried to make sushi at home? Let’s have a try, it’s not as difficult as it seems J

Equipment:

-rolling mat

Ingredients:

-rice (short grains )

-rice vinegar

-soy sauce

-wasabi paste

-pickled ginger

-nori – seaweed

-fish (salmon or surimi sticks )

-cucumber

-avocado

Strokes:

- At first you need to cook the rice (instruction is always on a package) – this is the most difficult part of making sushi

- Secondly you need to turn a rice into a sushi rice. So mix the rice with a rice vinegar. It’s important to do it gently without destroying rice grains. Then let the sushi rice get cool.

- When the sushi rice is cold put the nori on the rolling mat and spared a thin layer of rice on the seaweed. Put a little bit on wasabi paste on the both edges of nori. In the middle of nori put a fish, cucumber and avocado. Then roll it using rolling bamboo mat.

- At last you need to cut long sushi roll into equal 8 parts

Serve it with a soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger.

Bon appetite!
