It is necessary
-
- for 6 rolls:
- 1/2 sheet nori
- 120 g rice
- 20 g avocado
- 30 g crab meat
- 30 g flying fish roe
- 30 g Japanese mayonnaise
- sugar
- salt
- rice vinegar to taste
- wasabi
- pickled ginger
- soy sauce to taste
Instructions
Step 1
Cook the rice. While the rice is cooking in a saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 tbsp. tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 5 tbsp. tablespoons of rice vinegar (assuming that you are boiling 900 g of rice). Cook rice for about 10 minutes - until half cooked (it should not crumble). Remove from heat, let it rest for 5 minutes. Drain the water through a colander if it remains. Pour the rice into any non-metallic bowl, mix with the vinegar solution. Stir with a wooden spatula. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
Step 2
Place half of the nori sheet (shiny side down) on a special bamboo mat. After wetting your hands in water, take the rice and spread it evenly over the entire nori sheet. 1 cm of the edge of the nori farthest from you should be left without rice.
Step 3
Turn the nori sheet over so that the rice is on the bottom. Place 2 lengthwise sliced avocados on the nori. Top with Japanese mayonnaise. On top of the mayonnaise is chopped crab meat.
Step 4
Raise the edge of the mat closest to you. Start rolling the roll: in the opposite direction from you. The movement of the arms when rolling is from the center to the edges.
Step 5
Remove the roll from the mat. Dip it on all sides in flying fish roe. Cut the roll into 6 even pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger.
