Simple Sushi
Ingredients (for four people with two rolls each - quite a lot as that's up to 10 slices, could serve many more, less greedy people!): 8 nori sheets about 300g sushi rice thinly sliced sticks of celery and carrot, lightly boiled spring onions thinly sliced or some chives tahini, yeast pate or (correctly but we couldn't find any without additives) umeboshi paste Soya sauce to taste as a condiment Cook the rice as per packet instructions and prepare the carrot and celery (you can use other veg if you prefer such as raw cucumber and peppers). Lay out your nori sheets and spread the rice over them, leaving a small space at top and bottom for sealing and making an indentation in the middle with a chopstick (or whatever). Place some veg and chives in the middle with your pate/tahini/paste indentation and roll up, sealing the end with a little water. We found rolling them really easy and didn't use the recommended bamboo mat (didn't have them). Slice up each roll into 3 or 4 cm slices and upend. Serve with soya sauce. |
