Ingredients
- For Sushi Rice:
- 3 cups short-grain Japanese rice
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3 1/4 cups cold water
Instructions
- Rinse
rice in fine mesh strainer under cold water for a few minutes then
shake off excess water. Place into large sauce pot along with water.
Cook covered over low/medium heat, bring to a simmer, turn heat down to
low and cook just until water is evaporated - about 7 to 8 minutes.
Remove from heat.
- In small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar,
sugar and salt. Cook over low heat and stir until dissolved. Pour over
prepared rice, stir with wooden spoon, cover rice and let stand for at
least 30 minutes before using. Let the rice cool enough so it's just
warm to touch.
- Other ingredients/tools needed, all based on preference:
wooden bamboo rolling mat
dried nori seaweed sheets
- fillings:
sliced smoked salmon
sushi-grade raw salmon, tuna, albacore or scallops (cannot be previously frozen!)
cooked real crab, lobster or shrimp
fresh tobiko (fish eggs)
diced green onions
sliced cucumber
fresh asparagus
avocado
- sauces:
cream cheese or sweet Japanese mayonnaise
eel sauce
wasabi sauce
spicy mayo - combine regular mayonnaise with sirachyia sauce
tamari/soy sauce
- Some of my favorite combinations:
(Tuna, Salmon, cream cheese, tobiko, avocado; topped with smoked salmon,
eel sauce, sweet mayo, tobiko, green onions)
(Cooked lobster with cream cheese, raw bay scallops; topped with tuna,
sweet mayo, eel sauce and a touch of sriracha sauce)
(Tuna, sriracha sauce or spicy mayo, asparagus, cream cheese; tempura
deep-fried roll topped with spicy mayo, black tobiko, green onions, eel
sauce)
