Hello everyone, I'm MASA.
Today, I'd like to share a recipe of making tasty sushi.
It's called
[Japanese] sokuseki kantan saamon no oshizushi
(peeping) Super Easy Salmon Pressed Sushi
Normally, when we make pressed sushi
we'll need a special sushi mold.
[Cooking Tips] It may be a waste to buy a sushi mold just for making pressed sushi once in a while.
[Cooking Tips] I'm going to use a substitute item, which is often seen in every household, to make pressed sushi.
It's really easy.
OK. Let's get started.
[Prepare Sushi vinegar] (Rice vinegar~1.5 tbsp)
(Sugar~1 tbsp)
(Salt~ 1/2 tsp)
(Mix evenly)
(Steamed rice~about 300 g)
[Cooking Tips] Warm rice is recommended. That helps the rice to absorb sushi vinegar.
(Sprinkle the vinegar dressing evenly all over the rice)
(Using a rice paddle to toss the rice with horizontal cutting strokes)
[Cooking Tips] Using a fan to cool the rice for speeding up the absorption.
(White sesame~ 2 tbsp)
(Keep the rice covered with a damp cloth)
(1 Cucumber)
(Cut into thin slices)
(Cut into thin strips)
(Salmon sashimi—12 slices)
(Place the sashimi between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or damp clothes)
(Flatten the fish slices)
[Cooking Tips]Fish meat is fragile, hit them gently!(> <)//
[Cooking Tips] If what you got is the whole salmon, you may cut into slices.
[Cooking Tips] Using smoked salmon is also recommended. !(^o^)b
(Keep the used plastic wraps for later usage.)
(Prepare a cleaned milk carton)
(Cut off the edges where I mark as red)
(Fold the cut-off part inside the carton)
(Home-made sushi mold is completed!)
This carton mold is actually quite convenient because it's waterproof.
[Cooking Tips] You can fill ice cream or mousse filling into the mold, then put into the fridge to chill it.
About the filling, I choose salmon and cucumber.
You can choose any combination you like.
[Cooking Tips] If you don't like sashimi, you can use boiled shrimps as substitute.
[Cooking Tips] For the green filling, you can use avocado or blanched asparagus.
If you'd like to add one more color
[Cooking Tips] You can pan-fry a thin egg patty first then slice into thin strips.
And assemble them all together. (Please click i icon for previously uploaded video)
(Place used plastic wraps into the mold)
(Put sliced salmon evenly at the bottom of the carton)
(Make a layer first)
(Add sushi rice~ about 150 g)
(Spread evenly)
(Press with scraper)
(Or press with another milk carton)
[Cooking Tips] Pack the rice tightly so that it won't fall apart when cutting later.
(Cucumber thin strips~suitable amount)
[Cooking Tips] It doesn't have to use them all. Making a thin layer of green is enough.
(Add another layer of sushi rice~ about 150 g)
(Pack tightly)
(Put another layer of sliced salmon)
(Wrap it up)
(Cut into suitable size for eating)
(Take off the plastic wraps)
(Plating)
(Garnish with tobiko or Ikura)
Ok, here is a plate of beautifully presented Super Easy Salmon Pressed Sushi.
Alright, we may enjoy it now.
It's really pretty.
Let me taste this one in the front.
There is no specific way for tasting pressed sushi.
It's ok if you'd like to use chopsticks.
For me, I'd prefer to eat with my hand just for convenience.
Dip some soy sauce.
[Japanese] Dewa Itadakimasu.
(Satisfying)
Sushi is really tasty.
I've once introduced "chirashi sushi" which I put the rice on a plate and ingredients on the top.
What I introduce today
[Cooking Tips] You can use a hand-made mold to make creative sushi with special shape.
By using this kind of mold
[Cooking Tips] You can make a long block of sushi at one time, then cut into 6-8 portions.
It's very suitable for sharing.
Recipe like this is actually quite easy.
[Cooking Tips] It allows kids having fun making sushi together in their summer vacation. ^^b
So if you'd like to enjoy easy & tasty sushi
Must give it a try. Thank you.
