I like to experiment with different cuisines so here is a traditional adaptation of a Japanese dish... Sushi anyone?
So let’s talk Sushi… you love it or you hate it!
I thought that Sushi would be quite complex to make but I was shocked when I realised how easy and healthy it was.
RECIPE:
Traditional Japanese Nori filled with Sticky warm Sushi Rice lined with tuna fish and sesame seeds
You will need:
2 Sheets of Nori
100g of Sushi Rice
1 can of Tuna
10g of Mayonnaise
1 tsp sesame seeds
1 carrot
1 spring onion
Now if like me it would make you feel squeamish using raw fish simply take a can of Tuna in spring water, add to a tiny bit of light mayonnaise for consistency and this will be your fish base
Take a Sushi mat and lay out a sheet of Nori (seaweed) this is incredibly healthy for you. In Japan they eat Nori daily as it contains 28% protein, more than sunflower seeds, lentils or wheat germ.
1. Cook some Sushi Rice in a pan for 30 minutes, before cooking you should allow the rice to soak the water for around 5 minutes
2. Once cooked apply the rice onto the Nori leaving a gap around the edges
3. Sprinkle over some sesame seeds
4. Then across the centre of the rice trail a line of the tuna mixture along
5. Then add a layer of peppers and celery or vegetable of your choice
6. Then taking the mat slowly and carefully roll the Nori into a cylinder (the sticky rice should seal it)
7. Once you have the tube simply cut into sections you can usually get about 8 pieces of Sushi from a roll
The other benefit in using canned tuna is you can always put the left over’s in the fridge for the next day. It is great with some Soya sauce or sweet chilli dip, as a main or simply a meal accompaniment.
Saki also compliments this dish nicely. You could even be really healthy and finish with some Japanese Green Tea.

Hi Duckey, thank you for visiting my food blog.
I love your sushi recipe, I would only used cooked fish so I your sushi is real tasty.
You have a lovely blog. :-)
I just had sushi for dinner tonight! Although definitely not by my own making. I don't know if I would want to tackle it, although you make it seem so simple that I just may consider doing up my own sushi one of these days! It would probably be a bit cheaper...

Sushi! Yey! I'd love to taste it. Actually I haven't had the chance to eat sushi. I only have known it when I was watching anime. It looks very delicious and nutritious in every bite. And the way Japanese are making their bento box, presentations are really amazing. Two thumbs up! And I often dreaming that someday I can also cook and prepare sushi roll for my packed lunch.
