Stuffing for sushi is prepared from a wide variety of products offered to us by the sea. In their preparation, an important role is given to special Japanese rice. Sushi has become so popular in our country that this dish is prepared at home.
Taste and external qualities of sushi prepared at home, are different from rolls purchased at retail outlets. But is it possible to abandon the process of their preparation. Appearance and filling for sushi will depend on your preferences, the only unchanged product that is part of it is, of course, rice.
You can cook one of the most simple options for sushi - these are lumps of nigiri. They are prepared by hand, without using special devices. On top of the filling for sushi. At home, preparing this kind is much easier than makizushi - the classic version of sushi. It is prepared in the form of a cylindrical piece of rice with filling, wrapped in a sheet of nori. In this case, a bamboo mat is used in the preparation.
Rolls - this is another option for sushi, which is very well suited for cooking at home. Like all types of sushi, rolls can include a variety of fillings. For sushi, they can be either sweet or spicy, hot and cold. They may include vegetables and seafood. Another important component is, of course, the Japanese wasabi horseradish. Ginger and soya sauce cooked in a special way very well.
Consider the toppings for sushi in more detail. The recipe for this dish requires cooking fresh cucumbers. They must be, of course, long. Smoked capelin caviar will be a great addition. Rinse the rice until transparent, boil it, leave it under the lid. Pour rice vinegar, mix gently. We lay out the nori sheet with the waxed side down. Next is the sushi filling. We spread rice on 2/3 of the nori sheet, on top of the cucumber, turn it into a roll with the help of makis. From the second sheet of noriya cut off ¼ part. On a larger piece of nori leaf - again rice mixed with caviar, then cucumber roll. Wrap up. We need to cut this roll lengthwise into 2 parts. We lay the whole nori with the waxed side down. We spread 2 parts of a thick roll back to back. Fill the void with cream cheese. From above we add the remaining roll strips with backs to each other. Using makisu we form a large square roll. Leave for a couple of minutes, cut into pieces. In a cut, the roll looks like a mosaic.
Another roll option can be made with Philadelphia cheese. Salmon is an excellent sushi filling. At home, this option is not difficult to cook. These rolls are known as California. It can be said that this is one of the most famous recipes. Rinse, boil rice. Cook for about 17 minutes, then hold about the same amount under the lid. At this time, we cut smoked salmon into thin slices. Width no more than 1 cm. In the same way we cut cheese. The fish should be outside. In this recipe, on a roll mat, lay out salmon, then rice, slices of cucumber, avocado and cheese. Sprinkle it all with lemon juice. Wrap and glue the roll.
The sushi filling may consist of shrimp, crab meat. Salmon may be slightly salted. The composition of hot rolls contains eggs, various sauces.
Sweet sushi is no less interesting. Soak the rice in cold water. To make sweet rolls, boil rice in milk. For a more savory taste, add vanilla and sugar to the milk. Next, cool the rice. For the filling, any fruit is suitable. The first layer we lay out the rice, then the sweet curd, the fruit cut into strips from above. Wrap in a roll. If desired, rub chocolate on top.
