Nigiri sushi and rolls

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make nigiri sushi and rolls? Our ingredients

2. STEP 2

   

   Cook the rice in a multicooker (400g per 600ml in Buckwheat mode). When the rice is cooked, let it sit for 10 minutes so that it finally absorbs all the moisture. Then add the dressing (rice vinegar) and mix well. It is important that all the rice is evenly moistened with the dressing. After stirring, leave it alone for another 15-20 minutes - soak and cool to a comfortable temperature

3. STEP 3

   

   While the rice is cooking, prepare the filling. Cut the cucumber and bell pepper into strips. I don’t use cucumber straws with a large number of seeds. A cucumber without seeds has a lot more crunch. Mix shrimp with a small amount of mayonnaise, imitation crab meat (or crab sticks) - similarly. By the way, the crab sticks made very tender and juicy rolls

4. STEP 4

   

   Spin the rolls. Many people spin with a mat, but I don’t have a good relationship with it, so I spin with the help of a Sushi Magic mat. First place a sheet of nori, then spread a thin layer of rice about half its width, lay out the filling

5. STEP 5

   

   And just twist

6. STEP 6

   

   We do the same for the filling with crab meat and shrimp.

7. STEP 7

   

   To roll a Philadelphia roll, you first need to roll the roll with the rice facing out (if you are using a mat, then you will need cling film and a couple of additional manipulations at this step). If you have a mat like I do, then everything is a little simpler - you need to take half a sheet of nori, spread the rice on it and just turn it over along with the rice

8. STEP 8

   

   Add cream cheese as a filling

9. STEP 9

   

   And roll the roll with the rice facing out

10. STEP 10

    

    Now we just need to wrap our roll in thinly sliced ​​salmon

11. STEP 11

    

    Philadelphia is ready. All that remains is to cut it with a sharp knife

12. STEP 12

    

    If you are tired of rolls, I recommend trying to make nigiri sushi at home - this is when the filling is placed on top of a rice ball. You can sculpt balls with your hands, but you need to get the hang of it so that they turn out the same. I use special molds for nigiri, all from the same set. Take a mold, place the fish, cut into thin slices of about 5x2cm. Spicy lovers can add a drop of wasabi

13. STEP 13

    

    Cover with the second mold and place the rice

14. STEP 14

    

    Remove the top mold, turn the bottom one over

15. STEP 15

    

    And get 8 perfect nigiri dryers

16. STEP 16

    

    For beauty, they can be tied with thin strips of nori. Then they cannot be distinguished from restaurant ones at all

17. STEP 17

    

    Before cutting the rolls into portions, they should be allowed to sit for a while so that the moisture from the rice is absorbed into the nori and they do not break under the knife.

18. STEP 18

    

    Japanese dinner is ready. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi. Bon appetit.

Yes, back in the day, I also treated myself to similar delicacies. Well, relatives. Since cafes are quite expensive, but at home you can come up with your own filling to suit your taste, and for the same amount you can prepare enough sushi to feast on for two days. And of course, peace of mind for your health. Since it is prepared personally with your own hands and with love, which is very important, then everything turns out delicious to taste.

support and cheaper, and tastier, and safer, but we once got so poisoned by sushi in a restaurant that we can no longer eat homemade sushi
