Sushi rolls 寿司卷

Sushi roll is such a healthy snack, moreover it is also easy to make. It has been my favourite when I dined in the Japanese restaurant. Since then, I wanted to learn it at home and make for my family. After watching some online tutorials on how to make sushi roll, I find it is indeed easy to follow. I would say : "Practice makes perfect!" It is a challenging and fun job to roll it on! Do you want to try it too?

All you need at home are a sushi rolling mat, seaweed sheets, Japanese rice (short-grain rice) with vinegar (if you prefer), raw vegetables (Japanese cucumber, carrot or even avocado), tamagoyaki - Japanese omelette (if you prefer), crabsticks, prawns, tuna, unagi (eel), soft shell crab or any items that you can find in Japanese sushi rolls. I began with some basic and simple sushi rolls. It is such an exciting dish to make especially for kids. The colours are attractive & the shape makes it more appetizing. It is so satisfying to eat it with some wasabi and Japanese soy sauce! Making sushi rolls at home is such a cost-saving event as sushi is an expensive food outside. At the same time, we can have fun and also save some money! Isn't it great?

For this recipe, I have combined tamagoyaki with Japanese cucumber & crabsticks in the sushi rolls. Simple, quick & healthy!
