The sushi here was made for a bunch of friends during my stay in Denmark. We were having potluck dinner and everyone supposedly brought a dish representing our culture. Since I was the only Asian there, they requested me to make them Sushi as they're very curious about this famous food. Don't be confused if the toppings are a little bit twisted because it's not easy to find all the things I wanted to use in Odense (a small city in Denmark).
What I needed:- Makisu or Bamboo mat to roll sushi in
- Sushi rice (Sticky rice)
- Sushi vinegar (which contains sugar and salt)
- Toppings (I prepared crab meat, omelet, cucumber, mayo & thousand island)
- Nori or Seaweed Sheet
- Soya sauce and wasabi
- Sharp knife
- Wash a few times and cook the sushi rice
- Cool the cooked rice
- Mix the cooked rice with sushi vinegar. Taste it.
- Prepare toppings, slice the crab meat, omelet and cucumber, slice them thin and long.
- Open bamboo mat and place on the table
- Place the seaweed sheet on top of the bamboo mat
- Spread the rice thinly and evenly, leaving 2 cm top edge untouched
- Place a long thin strip of topping at about 2-3 cm from bottom rice edge
- Spread some mayo, thousand island and wasabi
- Slightly wet the 2 cm top edge, so that this edge can easily stick when rolling the sushi
- Roll from bottom to top.
- Warm the knife with warm water
- Cut sushi into pieces
- Dip into soya sauce before eating it (depends on preferences)
