Homemade Sushi Rice and Simple Sushi Recipe
We had a bit of a seafood bonanza lately. I think I mentioned last week that we found a local company delivering restaurant-quality seafood direct to consumers because the restaurant industry is still quite depressed from COVID, and one of the things we got was some beautiful sushi-grade tuna. So, we decided to make a variety of sushi. It's not too hard to make a decent roll at home, the key is really in the rice. If you have a rice maker, it's super easy, just remember to rinse your rice before you cook it, it will help it come out much nicer. Also, a rolling mat is absolutely indispensable to help you get a good tight and consistent roll.
Now, what you put in your rolls is entirely up to you. We did a simple kappa maki with some lovely little cucumbers, and a really delicious smoked salmon and cream cheese roll to go with our amazing rich tuna. Also, yes, we did not trim up the tuna quite right! It was still delicious, but it could have been more even. Guess I need to watch more Kimagure Cook on YouTube to teach me how to butcher fish properly!
