- 540 ml White uncooked rice
- 3 slice Lightly salted salmon filets
- 1 to 1 1/2 Cucumber
- 5 Shiso leaves
- 1 tablespoon, (to taste) Beni shouga red pickled ginger (or regular ginger if you don't have beni shouga)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Nori seaweed
- 60 ml Vinegar
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt
- 10 cm Kombu
- Cook the rice with the konbu seaweed.
- You can omit the konbu seaweed if you like.
- While the rice is cooking, grill the salmon, take off the skin and bones and flake.
- Slice the cucumber and put it in a plastic container with a little salt.
- Shake it around a bit, and leave until some moisture comes out of the slices.
- Chop up the shiso, beni shouga (or regular ginger or myoga ginger.
- You can omit these for children).
- Mix the ingredients together in a small pan and bring to a boil to melt the sugar.
- When the rice is done, turn it out into a sushi tub (sushi oke).
- Alternatively, wet the inside of a large bowl, drain and then put the rice in.
- Mix with the sushi vinegar from Step 5.
- When the sushi rice is mixed, cool it rapidly by fanning it, and mix in the sesame seeds.
- While the rice cools, beat the eggs, season with a little salt and make usuyaki tamago (very thin omelettes).
- Shred finely to make kinshi tamago when cool.
- When the rice has cooled down, mix in the flaked salmon, tightly squeezed out cucumber slices, shiso and beni-shouga.
- Done!
