My absolute favourite dish is Sushi just because it tastes amazing and it’s very fun and easy to eat with chopsticks. I’m also very fascinated with Asian culture. I always combine it with soy sauce, it’s really a finishing touch.
Here is the recipe of a simple salmon sushi roll:
Ingrediënts:
- 1 cup of Seasoned Sushi Rice
- A Sharp Knife (like a Yanagiba)
- A Cutting Board
- Makisu (wrapped in cellophane, preferably)
- 1/2 lb. of Wild Alaskan King Salmon
- 5 Half-sheets of Nori
- Bowl of Water
- Hand Towel
Recipe:
1. Once your sushi rice is cooked, seasoned, and cooled (more information: How to Make Sushi Rice), place a small handful of rice on the rough side of your nori.
2. Using four fingers on both hands, gently press the rice along the center to create a “valley.”
3. Slice rectangular pieces of salmon for your roll. I made a 1 cm thick slice and then sliced that in half.
4. Place the slices onto your rice along the “valley” you created in step 2.
5. This is the trickiest part. You need to dip your fingers in your water and transfer the water to the top portion of the nori. This will make the nori soggy and it will quickly start to curl.
Before the nori starts to curl, you need to roll the salmon roll up until the smooth side of the nori meets the wet portion. This will make it so that the nori sticks to itself and gives clean looking results.
6. Now that our salmon roll is all put together, it’s time to cut. Slice the roll in half, and then put the two halves together and slice them into thirds.
7. Turn the end pieces up, so that we can see that pretty salmon and then transfer it to a plate.
