Maki sushi (rolls) with salmon, cheese and cucumber

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Wash the rice thoroughly. Then place the rice in a cooking container and fill it with water. There should be one and a half times more water than rice. First, measure the amount of rice with a mug, and then fill it with 1.5 times the amount of water. For flavor, add garlic cloves cut in half. You can add kombu seaweed, but if you don’t have it in stock, that’s okay. Bring the rice to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes.

2. STEP 2

   

   While the rice is cooking, cut the filling: cucumber into strips, fish into thin slices.

3. STEP 3

   

   The rice is cooked. Remove the garlic and kombu seaweed from it. We wait until it cools to room temperature. Add vinegar dressing to it. Add 1-2 tablespoons of dressing to a plate of rice to taste. You can buy it ready-made in the store, or you can make it yourself. To do this, mix 50 ml of rice vinegar, 1 tbsp. sugar and 0.25 tsp. salt. To make the salt and sugar dissolve faster, heat the resulting mixture in the microwave or on the stove.

4. STEP 4

   

   Stir the rice with a chopping motion.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wrap the bamboo mat in cling film.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place one sheet of Nori seaweed on a bamboo mat, shiny side up, cutting strips vertically. Spread the rice in a thin layer over the seaweed. But not over the entire surface; we leave the small near part without rice. Lightly moisten this part with vinegar dressing.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add fish, cucumber and cream cheese.

8. STEP 8

   

   We begin to wrap the roll.

9. STEP 9

   

   With a slight movement of the hand, we wrap the roll using a bamboo mat :)

10. STEP 10

    

    The resulting roll.

11. STEP 11

    

    Cut the roll into 6-8 pieces with a sharp knife. Wash the knife periodically in cold water.

12. STEP 12

    

    Bon appetit :)

13. STEP 13

    

    So, a romantic Japanese-style dinner is ready!

Arigotoma, what beautiful photos! Preparation, decoration - it was as if I had been to a Chinese restaurant! Still, what a cool thing - virtuality, you can visit and see anything at the lowest cost! Well, I’ll try it in my kitchen, of course. Thank you very much for the recipe and work! <br /><br />
