Sushi


A nice and healty dish. Some says that it's too complicated to make it, but all you need it's just to concetrate and then bang....you're there.
Love it...

200 gr. sushi rice, cooked
100 gr. fresh/smoke salmon, cut in line
100 gr. fresh tuna, cut in line
5 sheet sushi nori
1 green cucumber, cut in line
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. wasabi
2 tbsp. pickle ginger
2 tbsp. salty soya

Cook rice and when it's done pour the vinegar and mix ittogether. Prepare the nori on a bamboo roller or use baking paper if you don't have one. Lay rice on the nori with your finger, make you finger wet so it doesn't stick. Use finger tip to put wasabi on in line, the fish on and cucumber. Start roll it carefully until the nori closed together. Cut it in 4 pieces.
Dip it in the soya and eat it with the ginger.

You can always make it with prawn or smoke fish if you dont like raw fish. If you buy fresh tuna that haven't been frozen, put it in the frezzer for a couple hour to kill the parasit.
Be carefull with using the wasabi because it's kind of strong.
