Mentaiko flower sushi roll

 

 My hubby bought this mentaiko during his recent business trip in japan. Expensive stuff but the taste is really good =) 

Flower sushi roll

Ingredients:

1.5 piece of nori seaweed

1 cup of cooked rice 

1 Tbsp sushi vinegar

1 mentaiko

Method:

1. Add rice vinegar into cooked rice. Weight out 150g rice & add mentaiko. Mix well.

2. Divide a piece of nori seaweed into 6 equal smaller pieces. Wrap 25g of mentaiko rice mixture into each seaweed. 

3. Put the 6 mentaiko seaweed rolls together to form a flower & roll tightly with a sushi mat.

4. Take out another 1/2 piece of nori seaweed. Lay the remainder rice on top. Put the flower roll on top & roll up tightly using sushi mat again.

5. Slice the sushi with a sharp knife into 6 pieces.
