Boston sushi

  • Into a pot of boiling water, add some salt and optionally, you can add parsley, wine and lemon juice for seasoning. Add your shrimp to cook for 3-5 minutes. When the time is done, transfer the shrimp into cold water to stop their cooking. Peel them and remove the tails.
  • Start making your sushi rolls by Spreading your rolling mat with a plastic wrap on top to easily clean up after.
  • Separate each nori sheet into two halves using a pair of scissors. Lay each half on the rolling mat.
  • On the nori sheet, put ¾ cup of the cooked rice. Wet your fingertips with tezu water before you start rolling the sheet. Make sure the rice form a thin sheet. Don’t compress the rice with your fingers.
  • Flip the nori sheet so that it’s facing you and the rice is facing the bamboo mat.
  • Transfer your filling on the nori sheet (avocados, ½-inch slices of cucumber, and shrimp). Don’t overfill.
  • With your thumbs beneath the rolling mat, lift the edge above the fillings and start rolling it away from you, all while gently yet firmly pressing on the roll.
  • After removing the bamboo mat, spread the tobiko on the sushi roll well.
  • With the plastic wrap on top of the roll, press gently on the roll so that the tobiko stick well.
  • Cut your roll into bite-sized pieces. Remove the wrap and enjoy.
