If you have not found such rice, this is not a reason to abandon the idea of \u200b\u200btrying to use the sushi recipe at home. You can take white, round grain, polished rice, it sticks just as well.

No recipe for making sushi at home can do without red fish and nori - dry seaweed, in which you will wrap the rolls. You can also take fresh tuna, smoked eel, king prawn, squid, cucumber, caviar, crab sticks, sausage, cheese, in general, whatever your heart desires.

Of course, a homemade sushi recipe doesn't necessarily include wasabi sauce and pickled ginger, but you can still get them.

Let's prepareingredients

Boil the rice for full readiness. While it is cooling, it is necessary to prepare fish, seafood and other ingredients. All the stuffing must be cut into long thin strips, and what cannot be cut, such as caviar, put in small bowls.

Take a board and a knife, which should be very sharp, also prepare a container of hot water where you can rinse the knife from rice gluten. It would be optimal to get a special bamboo board for making rolls, but its absence is not a disaster.

Let's start the process of making rolls.

Put a sheet of nori on the board and begin to spread rice on it - from the edges, moving evenly towards the center, since the nori sheet begins to shrink and tear when wet.

Completely covering the nori with rice, lay out a path of ingredients, stepping back from the edge of the sheet about three centimeters. You can choose any filling that you think is delicious. You can make rolls with only one ingredient, the so-called maki rolls, you can combine different fillings and make more complex options. It all depends on your preferences. The recipe for sushi at home, as well as in a restaurant, has certain classic combinations: soft cheese with red fish, eel with crab and avocado, crab with avocado and soft cheese, red fish with soft cheese and caviar.

Soft cheese is added to the rolls so that they are not dry. Restaurants use cheese"Philadelphia", but you can also use the usual: viola, almette, hochland and even fetaki.

After putting the ingredients, roll the roll tightly, starting from the end from which you retreated three centimeters and put the stuffing. Take a knife and divide the roll into equal parts. Your rolls are ready. Arrange them on a platter, use wasabi and ginger to garnish, and use soy sauce instead of s alt.

As you can see, using the sushi recipe at home is quick and easy.

Bon appetit.
