If for some reason you have been intimidated in trying to make sushi at home just like me ;), then this recipe is a good start and shows you how easy it is.
What I love about making sushi apart from being a nutritious and delicious dish, you also can be playful and easily create your own signature sushi.
First, I place the nori on the bamboo mat with the shiny side down. I then spread the sticky rice on the nori with wet hands and place the chosen ingredients on top of it. Sushi can be filled with anything you like :).
Lift the end of the mat, then gently pull before rolling it over the ingredients, pressing gently to make a firm cylinder.
Use a wet sharp knife to cut the roll into small sushi pieces.
Enjoy 🙂
What you need:
- Bamboo mat
- Nori
- Rice
- Some lengthwise chopped vegetable (e.g. carrots, cucumber, avocado)
- Lightly grilled Tofu
If you don’t have any sticky rice by the hand don’t worry you can also use regular rice or even couscous. Just make sure you add a bit more water when cooking for extra moisture and stickiness.
I’d love to hear if you have ever tried making sushi yourself or if not, whether you’re going to give it a try?
Thanks for reading,
Mahshid
