Sushi is Japanese rice topped or filled with ingredients of your choice, can be crab sticks, shrimp, cucumber, ripe mango, avocado (alligator pear), raw fish. Last new year I made some California Maki, (using sushi rice) and Sushi rice in sesame seeds.
Ingredients:
Sushi rice
sesame seeds (toasted)
Nori sheets
ingredient of your choice (I used crab sticks)
Procedure for Sushi Rice:
Wash the Japanese then cook in 2 ¼ cups of water. Bring to a boil then lower the heat. Let it cook until the water evaporates.
While the rice is cooking, place the vinegar, salt and sugar in a saucepan. Let it boil while stirring constantlyuntil the salt and sugar dissolve. Set aside to cool. Pour in the vinegar mixture then toss and stir the rice.
Procedure:
Heat each nori sheet for few seconds on a non-stick pan then cut into 1 inch strips, set aside. On a wax paper, place about 1 1/2 tablespoon of Sushi rice then roll to form 1 1/2 inch log. Roll the rice on toasted sesame seeds. Top with ingredient of your choice then wrap with a strip of nori sheet. Perfect if dipped in soy sauce with wasabi and drops of lime juice.
