Sushi Fillings at Home

Five variations of different rolls and sushi at home. Sushi and rolls are very popular these days, but not everyone can afford to visit Japanese restaurants often or order sushi delivery because of the high price. Any home cook can make her favorite Japanese dishes at home.

Cooking method

Step 1:

Rolls are small rolls of rice and nori seaweed with a filling. Fish or seafood is usually used as the filling, less often chicken. Vegetables usually pair with the fish component - most often fresh cucumber or avocado flesh. Mayonnaise-based sauce or cream cheese serves as the base. The filling can really be anything, like pizza. I'll share my favorite filling options for rolls.
Step 2:

Prep the cucumber. Wash it and trim off the ends. Cut the cucumber into four. From each quarter, cut away the seedy center. You can eat that part - it doesn't go in the filling. Cut the remaining firm part of the cucumber lengthwise into strips.
Step 3:

Cut the crab sticks into 4 strips sized to match the cucumber.
Step 4:

Take lightly salted salmon or trout, remove the skin, and cut it into strips. If the piece of fish is large, you can first cut part of it into thin slices and make "Philadelphia" rolls.
Step 5:

Peel the sweet-tart apple, cut out the core with the seeds, and cut it into strips.
Step 6:

Transfer the cream cheese into a piping bag so it's easy to pipe out like a frosting.
Step 7:

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet or in the microwave. In the microwave, toast the sesame in 20-30-second bursts, stirring each time.
Step 8:

Option 1: classic and most popular. Pipe out a strip of cream cheese and lay on the salmon.
Step 9:

Option 2: cream cheese, cucumber strips, and fish.
Step 10:

Option 3 (vegetarian): pipe out a strip of cream cheese, lay on the cucumber, and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
Step 11:

Option 4, the "Tenderness" roll: crab sticks, cream cheese, and sweet-tart apple. A very unusual and delicate combination.
Step 12:

Option 5: crab sticks, cucumber, and capelin roe in a smoked-salmon-flavored mayonnaise sauce.
