SUSHI-by Jimena Molina

Hi guys! In this post, I am going to tell you again about a recipe, but instead of something sweet, I have decided to try something new and show you how to prepare sushi ,quick and easy.

To know more about this recipe, you need to know that sushi is the most representative example of the Japanese food, and that  it has been globalized around the world. People like it because it is  easy to it and very healthy.

INGREDIENTS you need

200 gr of white rice

Some leaves of Nori(for covering the sushi)

50 gr of salmon(or any fish)

1 cucumber

1 carrot

2 tablespoons of rice vinegar

1 tablespoon of sugar

1 tablespoon of salt  

PREPARATION

1. Wash the rice a lot of times (about six times)changing the water ,until the water runs out of different substances such as starch(when it is totally transparent).

2. Boil about 300 ml of water, and add the rice. Cover the casserole and let it boil for 15 minutes more or less. Then turn off the fire and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

3. Warm up the vinegar (just a little)and mix it with the tablespoons of salt and sugar. Add this mix to the rice and stir it a little until it is mixed. Then let it get a little bit colder.

4. Wash and peel the vegetables. Cut the cucumber and the carrot in long strips (because then, when you cut it they will become square pieces).

5. Expand the Nori (alga) leaf onto the sushi mat(if you don’t have one you can try to use albal paper instead).Put a rice layer onto the alga ,and then put the vegetables above the rice, in one side of the strip of rice.

6. Finally, roll the sushi, starting by the side which hasn’t got the vegetables on it, and with the help of the mat (or albal paper) press it to the maximum. When it is complete pressed, you will have a long roll of sushi.

7. For the last thing, cut the sushi in pieces of the size you prefer, (with a sharp knife).

It might sound difficult or even boring to cook, but try it and you will se how you finally like the results!Oh,and if you don´t like the nori alga,you can do it without it, but it will be a little bit more difficult.You can also change what is inside of the rice..Hope you liked this recipe!
