One of the most exotic things I tried when I moved to Europe was Sushi (it’s still hard to find in India .. or at least it was when I left)

So one of the things on my bucket list for this year was to start making some sushi 🙂

This was my first attempt.

The recipe:

• Boil some sushi rice till it’s well done
• Drain all the excess water and let it cool till it’s lukewarm
• In a pan, add a spoon of vinegar to the boiled rice and stir it till the rice is cool and sticky
• On a bamboo carpet covered with plastic or a thick paper covered with plastic, lay a sushi wrap
• With a wet hand (to avoid rice sticking to your hand) take a handful of rice and arrange it on the sushi wrap, to approximately lay a grain of rice think layer on the entire surface leaving about one centimeter on the bottom.
• Lay a thin layer or Salmon or Tuna across the center
• Pressing the center of this arrangement, gently fold the whole arrangement to make a roll
• Remove the roll and cut it in even proportions
• Serve with some Soya sauce and Wasabi

Voila!

(For the shrimp Sushi, just press a small ball of rice over the back of slit shrimp)
