Plain Sushi recipe

This recipe is so delicious if you can eat raw fish! (you need it very fresh). It might look very technical at first but try a few times and you'll be able to master it! I will also show you one day how to make Korean Sushi which is very different.

Ingredients (for 3 people as a main course):

3 cups of medium grain rice (Korean or Japanese type)
3 cups of water
6 TB of rice wine vinegar
3 TB salt
5 TB of white sugar
1 medium ripe avocado
1 salmon fillet
half a cucumber
nori sheet
wasabi
soy sauce
pickled ginger

Tools you will need:

A hand fan
A rice cooker
A rice scoop
A large bowl to put the rice in before and after cooked
Bamboo rack (to help fold the sushi)

1. Put 3 cups of rice in a large bowl. Wash the rice thouroughly 5 to 7 times in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain the water completely. Cover the rice with a plastic bag or glad-wrap. Let it dry for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes the rice appears whiter in colour. Put the rice in a rice cooker and cook it. When cooked, let it sit in the rice cooker for at least 20 minutes.

2. Put the vinegar, sugar and salt in a saucepan on loaw heat and cook it until dissolved. When the vinegar mixture is dissolved put it in a small bowl.

3. Scoop the rice out and put it in the large bowl you have used before. Put the vinegar mixture in the rice while the rice is hot. Keep stirring with the rice scoop.

4. With a hand fan and while stirring keep fanning the rice to help it dry and the mixture to penetrate the rice and become sticky. Continue doing this for about 10 minutes.

5. This rice should be cool now.

6. Cut a 1 cm thick slice (as long as the nori sheet) of salmon per sushi (you will need a very good knife), same for the avocado and same for the cucumber.

7. Put on a bamboo rack the nori sheet. spread some rice on half of the sheet. Ad
d on the side of the sheet your 1 cm thick slice of avocado, salmon, and cucumber. If you wish add a little bit of wasabi too.

8. Start rolling the sushi while being very tight with your hands as you roll. At the end bits, put some grains of rice to help stick when you finish rolling.

9. You can then slice your sushi in 2 cm thick slices.

10. You can also with this recipe, make some different sushis. Make some oval balls of rice using wet hands. Press tightly. Cut some very thin slices of raw salmon and put it on each ball of rice. Wrap it with small stripes of nori sheet as shown on picture.

Enjoy!
