Method :
To make the
tuna sushi, spread half a sheet of nori onto a bamboo mat, lay strips of
tuna across the full length and season with the thinned Wasabi. Place a
line of blanched carrot next to the tuna and roll tightly. Moisten the
edge with water and seal. Place a square of wet greaseproof paper
(non-stick baking paper) onto the bamboo mat, then spread evenly with
sushi rice. Place the seaweed wrapped tuna along the center and wrap
tightly, enclosing the seaweed completely. Remove the paper and cut into
neat rounds with a wet knife. To make the salmon sushi, make a simple
flat omelette by beating together the eggs, salt and sugar. Heat a large
non-stick pan, pour in the egg mixture, stir briefly and allow to set.
Turn out onto a clean cloth and cool. Place the nori onto a bamboo mat,
cover with the omelette and trim to size. Spread a layer of rice over
the omelette then lay strips of salmon across the width. Season the
salmon with the thinned Wasabi, then place a strip of cucumber next to
the salmon. Fold the bamboo mat in half, forming a tear shape inside.
Cut into neat sections with a wet knife.
Sushi is
something of an art form in Japan, but which a little practice it is
possible to make sushi at home.
