    Step 12.

    Spread on a baking sheet and bake on the grill

All ingredients:

Sushi rice - 200g
Nori - 3 sheets
Seafood - 200g
Spicy sauce - 100g•
Rice vinegar - to taste

First of all, we send the rice to cook, having previously washed it very thoroughly to remove almost all the starch from it, so that the rice does not turn into rice porridge, meanwhile we cut the nori into strips

When the rice is ready, we season it with rice vinegar and put it on the board so that it cools down as soon as possible (for any rolls and sushi, we use exclusively chilled rice!)
You can also improve our cooking, in Japan it is called sushidza and it is prepared using 3 ingredients: Mitsukan - rice vinegar, Mirin - rice wine (it's very sweet) and ordinary sugar.
Are mixed to taste and seasoned with rice, in the home version you can make mitsukan and just dilute sugar in water, and mix everything, it should taste sweet and sour - did it work? So you can refuel

Let's prepare the fillings for now

We used the classic spicy sauce (the simplest option is mayonnaise, sriracha sauce and tobiko caviar), or it can be purchased at any Japanese cafe/restaurant

Mix the fillings with the sauce

Prepare a table for modeling sushi, we need our sliced nori and a glass / bowl of water so that the rice does not stick to your hands

We form a brick and wrap it with a sheet of nori

At the end, we sculpt 1-2 risinki in order to close the burrows and so that the drying does not fall apart

We put the fillings inside so that nothing falls out from above, but the drying was quite dense.

And now grease the tops with spicy sauce

Spread on a baking sheet, be sure to put on parchment or silicone mat, the foil may stick if you do not have a grill in the oven. We send it to the oven on the grill and bake for a couple of minutes until golden brown, if there is no grill, then just in the oven at 200c’
If you want to surprise your guests, you can use a gas burner, fry the sauce on top for just a few seconds and you can serve it to the table!)
And don't forget about soy sauce with ginger, buy Japanese chopsticks for color)
Bon appetit!
