Sushi Rolls
Ingredients
2 cup of sushi rice (I use a normal tea cup)
2 and 1/4 cups of water
5 Tbs. rice vinegar
seaweed sheets
soy sauce
pickled ginger
wasabi
2 Tbs. of sugar
1 Tbs. of salt
Fillings:
avocado
cream cheese
cucumber
whatever you like :)
Directions
to cook a rice : Rinse rice until water runs clear (This is quite important part because the rise should be perfectly washed). Add 2 and 1/4 cups water to the pot and cook it in a rice-cooker. If you don´t have any then bring rice and water to a boil, uncovered, over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook about15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Meanwhile combine rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a saucepan and stir. Heat over low heat and bring it to a simmer while stirring and letting it thicken for a couple minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. When rice has cooled to room temp, slowly fold in the vinegar mixture. Let sit for a few minutes.
Place nori on mat and cover with the rice, leaving a little space free of rice. Line up each prepared ingredients in the middle. Carefully roll your mat with the nori, distributing firm but gentle pressure as you roll. Use the water to wet your finger(to prevent rice sticking to them as you work).
Slice the sushi into small rolls with a sharp knife (moisten the blade with water to make this easier) into 6 to 8 pieces.
Serve with pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce
