Maki Sushi

 Today I am going to explain how to prepare some maki sushi!
Surprisingly, it does not take so long and it is not as complicated as it is thought :)

Difficulty: Easy
Preparation time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

Sushi Rice
Nori Seaweeds
Sushi Rice Vinegar
Soya Sauce

To fill the sushi:
Filling 1:
2 crabsticks (Surimi sticks) cut in half, lenghtways
Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
1/4 Avocado (sliced)
(optional) 6 cooked and peeled prawns
Filling 2:
100 grames Smoked Salmon slices
Cucumber cut into matchsticks
Filling 3: The ingredients you want

Preparation

1. Cook the rice for 15-20 minutes in salted water. Once it is done drain it well and stir in the sushi rice vinegar. Let it get cold.

2. Place on the bamboo mat a sheet of nori seaweed. Once the rice it's cold, put some of it into the centre of the seaweed (it is better for you to do it if your hands are wet to avoid the rice to stick to you). Spread the rice to cover the seaweed, leaving a 1,5 cm margin on the far side of the seaweed (this will be the extreme we will paste to the roll) Try to put a bit more of rice in the laterals of the seaweed also.

3. For the rolls with the Filling 1, spread the mayonnaise over the rice.

4. Put the ingredients for the filling in a line across the middle of the seaweed with the rice.

5. Now, start rolling the mat so that all of the rice is enclosed inside the sushi nori. And seal the uncovered edge with a bit of water.


6. Cut the roll into pieces and serve it with a small bowl with soya sauce and a bit of wasabi. You can mix the wasabi and the soya sauce or just let the wasabi in the corner of a dish for the most braves ;)

Itadakimasu! いただきます  (Bon appetit!)
