Festive Salmon Temari Sushi
- 20 pieces if thin, 10 pieces if thick Salmon (sashimi-grade)
- 10 Capers
- 500 grams Freshly cooked rice
- 50 ml Vinegar
- 1 equal amount as the vinegar Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 follow the instructions on the packaging (If using commercial sushi vinegar)
- I used this thinly sliced salmon this time.
- Make the sushi vinegar: Put the vinegar, sugar and salt in a small pan, and warm up while stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- (This one is brown because I used 100% rice vinegar.)
- Put the freshly cooked hot rice in a bowl or similar, and swirl on the sushi vinegar.
- Cut and fold to mix with a rice paddle, taking care not to mash the rice grains.
- When the sushi vinegar is evenly mixed in, and there are no lumps of rice, fan it to cool it down.
- This will make the sushi rice very shiny.
- Spread out a piece of plastic wrap on a scale, and place the sashimi on top.
- Since the sashimi I used this time was very thin I used 2 slices.
- If you have thicker slices of sashimi, 1 is fine.
- Set the scale to 0 (use the TARE function if you're using a digital scale) and put on 50 g of sushi rice.
- The rice sticks to the spoon, so dip the spoon in water each time.
- Add wasabi if you like.
- Twist the wrap tightly, and form a nice round ball.
- Keep the sushi wrapped in plastic to prevent it from drying out until it's time to serve them.
- Arrange them just before eating them.
- Top with capers to finish.
- Just one caper per piece made them look like shumai dumplings to me, so I put on 2 per piece.
- You can also form the sushi by putting a caper on the plastic wrap, then the sashimi, followed by the rice.
