Method

To make the pickled cucumber, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate. Cook the sushi rice according to the packet instructions and keep warm.
To assemble, lay a nori sheet (rough side up) on a piece of clingfilm. With wet fingers to prevent sticking, position a quarter of the cooked rice in the centre of the nori sheet and shape it into a square, ensuring that the flat sides of the square face the corners of the nori sheet. Season with a pinch of salt.
Position half the salmon, avocado, lettuce and a spoonful of the cucumber pickle on top of the rice so that it is roughly square. Put another quarter of the rice on top of the filling, and compact down into a square as before. Season the rice with a small pinch of salt.
To enclose the filling, wet your fingers and fold the corners of the nori sheet into the centre to create a square-shaped, sealed parcel with the filling inside. Gather the clingfilm around the parcel and gently press down to compact. Set aside for 5 mins for the nori sheet to soften and stick to the rice. Repeat with the second parcel.
To serve, slice a line through the centre of the nori with a wet sharp knife, cutting through the clingfilm and sandwich. Remove the clingfilm and serve immediately.

Tasty Team

June 10, 2019

for 8 servings

¼ cup sugar (50 g)
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup rice vinegar (240 mL)
4 cups short grain rice (920 g), cooked, hot
8 sheets nori, divided
½ lb shrimp (225 g), peeled and deveined
¾ cup all-purpose flour (95 g)
¼ cup cornstarch (30 g)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
¾ cup ice water (180 mL)
canola oil, for frying
salt, to taste
1 avocado, sliced, divided
6 oz imitation crab (170 g), 1 can
1 english cucumber, thinly sliced, divided
½ cup whipped cream cheese (60 g)
4 oz smoked salmon (115 g), 1 package

teriyaki sauce
spicy mayonnaise
soy sauce

In a bowl, add the sugar, salt, and vinegar, and stir to combine. Microwave for 2 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved.
Transfer the rice onto a serving bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over the rice.
Using a spatula fold in the vinegar into the rice. Have another person fan the rice while mixing to get it down to room temperature.
Lay 4 sheets of nori onto two sheet pans. Spread half the rice mixture onto the nori on one sheet pan in an even layer. Repeat with the remaining sheet pan.
Refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes to an hour.
In a bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and egg until smooth.
Slowly add the ice water in a steady stream whisking until just mixed.
Dip the shrimp in the batter until fully coated.
Heat a large pot of oil to 350˚F (180˚C).
Add shrimp to the pot and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a wire rack to drain. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
Once cool, season the shrimp with salt to taste.
Remove the sheet pans with rice from the refrigerator. Place the first sheet of nori and rice onto a cutting board.
Mentally divide the rice sheet into fourths. On one fourth, place a layer of cucumber, a layer of avocado, and top with the crab.
On another fourth, place the sliced avocado and top with the shrimp tempura.
On another fourth, spread a layer of the cream cheese, then top with smoked salmon and a layer of avocado.
On the last fourth add a layer of cucumber and avocado.
Gently invert the other sheet tray with rice onto the sheet tray with toppings, so that the edges are even.
Cut the sushi into 16 even squares.
Serve with teriyaki sauce, spicy mayonnaise, and soy sauce.
Enjoy!

Onigirazu Tuna and Spinach Sushi Sandwich

40 min.

Onigirazu is a relatively recent culinary invention. This is a mixture of a classic onigiri (a triangle of rice with savory filling) and a regular sandwich. A very satisfying and convenient option for a snack outside the home.

5․

Collecting onigirase is much easier than spinning ordinary rolls. Place a serving of boiled rice (about ⅓ cup) in the center of the nori sheet and spread out in a diamond pattern.
6․

Top with spinach leaves, then vegetables and fish. Then spread another ⅓ cup of rice over the filling.
7․

Fold the nori into an envelope. For better adhesion, the edges can be moistened with cold water.

8․

Wrap the onigirazu tightly with cling film to form the sushi sandwich into a square shape. Set the dish aside for 10-15 minutes so that the nori sheet sticks together well and soaks in the moisture of the rice.

9․

Remove the film and cut the onigirase in half.
