Out of ideas for dinner tonight?
And if you made a meal based on sushi?
No need to buy it at the sushi restaurant. It costs a fortune!
Fortunately, a Japanese friend taught me how to make delicious sushi. Don't panic, it's easy!
Here is the secret to making these light and gourmet little delights.
A smooth learning curve… Watch:
- 300 g round-grain white rice
- 400g of fresh salmon
- 4 tablespoons of rice vinegar
- 3 g Wasabi paste
- 6 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar
- Salt
1. Wash the rice until the water runs clear.
2. Drain it then put it in a large pot of water.
3. Leave to soak for 30 min.
4. Cover and bring to a boil.
5. Boil for 3 minutes then continue cooking over low heat for 10 minutes.
6. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 10 minutes still with the lid on.
7. Drain it and reserve it in a salad bowl while mixing gently.
8. In a bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar and salt.
9. Add this mixture to the rice and stir gently.
10. Cut the fish into small rectangles.
11. Wet your hands and take the equivalent of a large spoonful of rice that you press between your hands to obtain an oval shape.
12. Place a piece of fish on top and press again so that it sticks to the rice.
There you go, your sushi is already ready :-)
It's not that hard and it's quick, isn't it? Plus, it's economical to make your own sushi at home.
All that remains is to put wasabi and soy sauce in small bowls for tasting.
When I organize a sushi evening, I vary the flavors by preparing sushi with various fish:tuna, sea bream or even eel.
To make it easier and not to damage the flesh of my fish, I remove the bones with tweezers.
Cutting fish is a real art in Japan. To best respect the texture of the flesh of my fish, I use a knife with a rigid and non-flexible blade, like this one because it will be more practical to cut it without damaging it.
I then cut the fillet in half lengthwise and then slices 5 mm thick in the perpendicular.
