SUSHI<\/h3><div class=\"av-inner-blocks-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-altervista-step media-position-bottom\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-altervista-paragraphs\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-altervista-paragraph\"><strong>HOW TO COOK SUSHI RICE TO PERFECTION <\/strong><br>Rice is the most important ingredient: if the rice is right, the sushi will be right<br><br>Rinse the rice several times in cold water; it\u2019s ready when the water runs clear and is no longer cloudy. This step removes the starch and makes the rice firm but not sticky.<br><br><br><strong>COOKING THE RICE <\/strong><br>Place the rice in a saucepan with an equal amount of water (1:1)<br><br>Cook with the lid on without stirring at all: 10\u201312 minutes over a medium heat, then turn off the heat and leave covered for a further 10 minutes.<br><strong><br>HOW TO SEASON SUSHI RICE <\/strong><br>In a bowl, mix the quantities of rice vinegar, sugar and salt specified in the ingredients list; pour into a small saucepan and heat gently until everything has dissolved, then pour over the rice and stir gently without crushing it. Leave to cool slightly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-altervista-steps-group\"><h3>How to make homemade sushi: Making a roll (maki)<\/h3><div class=\"av-inner-blocks-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-altervista-step media-position-bottom\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-altervista-paragraphs\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-altervista-paragraph\"><br>Place a sheet of nori seaweed on a bamboo mat lined with cling film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-altervista-paragraph\">Lightly wet your hands with water (you can add a drop of vinegar), then take approximately 100\u2013110 g of cooked, lukewarm rice and spread it evenly over the entire surface of the seaweed, leaving a 1 cm border. Sprinkle the rice with black and white sesame seeds<br><br>Using both hands, very gently flip the seaweed over so that the rice is resting on the bamboo mat.<br><br><strong>In the centre of the rice, arrange horizontall<\/strong>y:<br>a strip of blast-chilled tuna, a few slices of avocado and a little Philadelphia cream cheese.<br>Lifting the mat, start rolling from the bottom upwards, running your hands along the mat and pressing lightly to shape the roll.<br>Then lift the mat and continue rolling. Once the roll has taken shape, run your hands along the mat again, applying light pressure.<br><br><br><strong>CUT THE MAKI <\/strong><br>Using a sharp, slightly damp knife, cut the maki in half and then into 6 equal pieces. Wipe the blade between each cut to ensure perfect slices.<br><br>Continue in the same way with the other rolls. For an extra touch, you can garnish the maki with a little crispy onion.<br><br><br><strong>HOW TO MAKE PERFECT NIGIRI SUSHI <\/strong><br>As with the rolls, lightly wet your hands with water (you can add a drop of vinegar) to prevent the rice from sticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-altervista-paragraph\">Take a small amount of rice and gently shape it between the palms of your hands to form a small, oval-shaped ball that is firm yet soft. Do not press too hard during this step; the nigiri must remain soft.<br><br>Slice the swordfish or tuna into thin, slightly diagonal slices; for a perfect nigiri, the slices should be slightly larger than the rice ball. Place a slice on top of each rice ball, ensuring it fits snugly around the shape.
