When I was at whole foods shopping, this Japanese lady at the sushi counter gave me a whole eel. We see each other often and she knew that I was Japanese but it was really random and funny. "Hey, have this eel. It's good for you."
Anyway I decided to make some rolls with it but since it is kind of hard to get sushi grade fish you can substitute with any toppings you like. EX) shrimp and avocado, crab meat and avocado etc...
Ingredients
Yield: 4 servings (makes 4 rolls)
1-1/2 cup sushi rice (short grain white rice)
1/6 cup rice vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 tbsp sugar
2 nori (sea weed)
toppings of your choice
1) cook the rice using 2 cups of water.
2) put vinegar salt sugar into a bowl and mix together.
3) pour the vinegar mixture into cooked rice and mix well. make sure not to squish the rice so much.
4) cut nori into half, and place the sushi rice on it
5) on the other side of nori, put little bit of rice and toppings of your choice.
6) with plastic wrap or sushi mat (I used both of them), roll the sushi very tightly and press.
7) cut the sushi roll into bite size pieces using very sharp knife. make sure to wet the knife with water every time you cut so it doesn't stick together.
Gochisousama!
