Serving sushi maki

Sushi means vinegared rice - it is not a reference to the raw fish. Whoever thought of combining it with raw fish, pickled ginger and wasabi in all of its wonderful varied forms is a genius.

Equipment: You will need a sushi-making rolling mat.

Ingredients

255g sushi rice
55ml oz mirin
340g sashimi quality tuna
5 sheets nori sushi sheets
5 spring onions
3 tsp wasabi paste
Preparation method

Rinse the rice very well under cold water. Drain thoroughly and put into a large saucepan that has a lid. Pour over 1 pint of water. Bring to the boil and allow to simmer for about 25 minutes or until nearly all the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat, cover with a lid and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
Then tip the rice onto a large flat clean tray. A metallic is probably best as it will help the rice cool down quicker. Dress the rice with the mirin, turning frequently as this helps the rice to cool. Then fan with a fan or a magazine until the rice is room temperature (not essential but quite authentic).
To make the sushi take a Japanese bamboo sushi mat and place a sheet of seaweed on top. Have a small bowl of water to hand. Dip your fingers in the water before you touch the rice. Spread the rice over three quarters of the seaweed, take a little rice at a time and push it to the edges leaving a layer about ½ cm thick. Leave the quarter the furthest away from you plain.
Next smear a little wasabi in a line a little off centre nearest to your body. Follow with a layer of tuna, a spring onion and a piece of cucumber. Roll up the bamboo mat slowly, tucking in the closer end of the sushi roll to start a roll and press lightly with both hands. Remove the roll from the mat and leave to sit with the joining edges downwards. You can wrap in cling film and keep in a cool place until you are ready to serve. Don’t place in the fridge as this dries out the rice.
To serve, using a lightly moistened sharp knife to tri

Sushi salmon rolls

Maki is a great Japanese sushi dish consisting of sushi and raw vegetables, wrapped in seaweed. Well, if you want to make your own maki at home, learn from a professional, like in this video. He'll teach you how to make the perfect spicy
salmon maki sushi roll.









Method

Ingredients

• 1 packet nori squares
• 400g short-grain sushi rice
• wasabi paste
• 1 cucumber
• Place each square of nori flat onto a sushi rolling mat. (Sushi rolling mats are available from Asian supermarkets and larger supermarkets.)
• Place a layer of cooled sushi rice onto the seaweed wrap and gently press flat. (NB: don’t add too much rice or you will end up with very fat sushi rolls.)
• Place a dab of wasabi paste along the rice, according to taste. Wasabi is quite strong, so be sparing!
• Place a thin slice of salmon onto the rice.
• Spread the strips of cucumber onto the salmon and add a sprinkling of spring onion.
• Carefully roll the sushi up into a sausage shape and slice it into 3cm/1in long pieces, trimming the ends.
• Serve with bowls of soy sauce and extra wasabi.
• Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
