Recipe - Maki Sushi with Salmon

• Ingredients for 4 people:
• 800 g cooked sushi rice
• 300 g fresh salmon
• 7 sheets yaki nori (roasted seaweed)
• wasabi paste
• pickled ginger
• a bamboo rolling mat

Preparation:

Once again I tried to make sushi, but the rolls turned out just as shapeless as the first time around.

For maki sushi with a salmon filling, the sushi rice must first be prepared and well chilled.

Slice salmon into thin (ca. 5-10 mm) strips. The strips should be somewhat shorter than the seaweed sheets.

Cut yaki nori in half vertically and lay the first sheet on the bamboo mat. Spread rice evenly on seaweed, leaving 1 cm free on each end. Press a groove in the middle of the rice and place a strip of salmon in the groove.

Roll the filled sushi using the Bamboo mat. It should be rolled quickly and with even pressure.

Lay the finished sushi rolls on a cutting board and cut into 6 equal pieces.

Serve maki sushi with wasabi paste and pickled ginger.

Tip: Because the rice is very sticky, it is best to have a bowl of water mixed with rice vinegar ready to get the rice from your fingers.
