Hand Roll Sushi Recipe

Hand Roll Sushi


Hand roll sushi is a very popular sushi dish in Japanese home cooking. You need Sushi Rice and sheets of roasted seaweed (sushi nori), but the rest of the ingredients can be just about anything imaginable.

Tuna salad and cucumber were used as fillings for this recipe here, but we also suggest smoked salmon and cream cheese, pan-fried rolled omelet (tamago-yaki), avocado, and lettuce.  If you are a more advanced Japanese food person, of course you can use your favorite raw fish, too.

With all the ingredients laid out on the table, people can make their own hand rolls how they like as they eat.  It is a perfect food for entertaining friends and families!

Sushi Rice Recipe

Sushi Rice

Sushi rice is the most important component of sushi making, yet very simple to make.  Rice needs to be cooked a little harder for sushi rice than for regular steamed rice, so a little less water is used when cooking.  When you master how to make sushi rice, you can make a variety of sushi dishes, such as hand rolls and California rolls.

Dashi Recipe

Dashi

Dashi or Japanese soup stock is a very important component in traditional Japanese cooking.  It is used in soups, stews, boiled vegetables and many other dishes.  It is not hard to make at all, but it is one step you have to take before you cook food.

There are different kinds of Dashi you can make from various umami rich ingredients (learn more from our How to Make Dashi post), but in this recipe, we make the simple and traditional broth using some dried bonito flakes (katsuobushi) #ad and water.  Dried bonito flakes can be easily found at Japanese supermarkets or online stores.
