British Bacon and Asparagus Sushi
- 2 cups Uncooked Japanese Rice
- 1 Tablespoon Sake (optional)
- 1 piece Konbu (optional)
- 6 Tablespoons Sushi Rice Seasoning/Vinegar
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 whole Egg Yolk
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Cornflour
- 4 teaspoons Water
- 1 dash Vegetable Oil
- 1 package Streaky Bacon
- 1 pound, 1-23 ounces, weight Asparagus
- Make your sushi rice.
- (I recommend you buy a rice cooker, as it takes all of the guesswork and stress out of cooking rice.)
- Firstly, wash the rice thoroughly and leave it to soak for half an hour.
- Then, drain and add your sushi rice to the same quantity of water in your rice cooker.
- Add the sake and konbu if using, then switch on and leave to cook.
- Once it has finished, leave it to rest for 15 minutes.
- Turn the rice out into a damp, flat container (like a pyrex oven dish) and add the sushi rice vinegar.
- Using a damp wooden spoon, turn the rice gently to coat it in the seasoning.
- At the same time, fan the rice to cool it and help it to absorb the dressing.
- Continue until no visible steam rises from the rice, and place it under a damp kitchen towel.
- Make thin Japanese omelettes by combining the eggs, egg yolk, salt and sugar in a bowl.
- Add the cornflour dissolved in 4 teaspoons water.
- Add enough oil to coat the base of a frying pan, and heat.
- Thinly cover the pan with the egg, and heat until almost set.
- Then, turn the omelette over to finish it off.
- Do not allow it to colour.
- Continue until all the egg has been cooked, then roll the omelettes up and shred them finely.
- Fry the bacon until very crispy.
- Snip into small pieces.
- Steam the asparagus, and when cooked, remove the tips and slice the stems into small coins.
- Divide the rice into four bowls, and top with the bacon, asparagus and omelette.
- There you go, a summery fry-up.
- Well, sort of.
