Easy And Delicious Sushi Rolls
"Delicious sushi rolls are perhaps the ultimate Japanese food. The history of sushi dates back to ancient times, where it is surrounded by legends and folklore. But sushi isn’t just an ancient food. Sushi making is constantly evolving across the globe even today. Modern sushi chefs are introducing new ingredients and serving styles to attract the attention of the public. Traditional Nigiri sushi is still served throughout the United States. However, rolls wrapped in Nori sheets have gained popularity over the past few years. Creative additions reflect a Western influence that sushi enthusiasts love. Even vegetarians can now enjoy modern vegetable-style sushi rolls."
NotesHere’s a quick tip if you don’t have a sushi bamboo mat; you can use a clean tea towel to carefully roll the sushi and voila! You can get the same result. Just don’t press too hard when rolling.
