My daughter wanted to eat Sushi Rolls today, but I didn't want to go out and get proper ingredients for them. I checked our fridge and found Asparagus!
Sushi Rice:
2. Wash the rice with cold water a couple of times in a pot and drain.
3. Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the pot and put it on a burner on high heat.
4. Once it starts boiling, put a lid on, reduce the heat to low.
5. Let it cook for 15 minutes or until the steam stops escaping from the lid.
6. Take the pot off of the burner and let it rest for 10 minutes.
7. Spread the rice in a big bowl, so it will cool quicker. Add the vinegar mixture while the rice is still hot. Mix it with spatula lightly while it cools.
Asparagus Rolls:
I used sushi mat to roll my sushi. It is made out of bamboo sticks and very flexible. If you don't have one, you can use plastic wrap about the size of sushi mat - 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches.
I don't know how to explain this, so I put some pictures.
You put Nori (dried seaweed) on the mat, spread the vinegered rice, and add the main ingredient (steamed asparagus this time).
Lightly hold Asparagus (or whatever you are using), so it will stay in the middle. Roll up the sushi using the sushi mat. Once you are done rolling, you can squeeze the roll while it is still covered in the sushi mat lightly. You take the roll out of the mat, and slice the rolls into 6 to 8 pieces!
Sushi Rice:
- 1 1/2 cups of short grain white rice
- 1 1/2 cups of water
- 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar (apple cider vinegar works too)
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
