If we talk about sushi at home, then your own rules and variations on the theme of sushi are acceptable. By the way, this exotic dish has been loved by our people for many years and to such an extent that many began to cook it at home! Me included. I really love sushi in any form, with any filling. It’s a pity that in our stores you can’t always buy good and “native” ingredients for sushi.
However, I will share with you one of the recipes for sushi with salmon and avocado. It's interesting, tasty and pretty fast!
Ingredients:
, which will be enough for 2 thin rolls:
nori sheet – 1 pc. (we will cut it in half);
--
boiled round rice – 200g;
--
rice vinegar – 1 tbsp;
--
wasabi – 1 tsp;
--
cucumber - only 4 thin long strips;
--
avocado - half;
--
To serve you will need soy sauce and pickled ginger;
--
for rolling - a bamboo mat.
--
Preparation:
The main secret is that the filling ingredients should be equal so that rice, fish, cucumber and avocado taste equally good. If there is more of a product, then the taste will not be “pure” and the result will not be “successful”.
So let's start with the filling. We cut the fish and cucumber into long strips, peel the avocado and cut it too. Pre-boil the rice until fully cooked, season with rice vinegar.
Now you can fill the sushi. Place a sheet of nori (previously cut into 2 parts) on the mat, with the glossy side down.
With wet hands, spread the rice, leaving the edges about 1 cm free.
Next, you can make a strip of wasabi approximately in the middle of the rice. Place a strip of cucumber on it.
Next are avocado and salmon.
Now you need to twist a neat roll; it’s very convenient to do this with a mat. Lift the edge and start rolling, try to roll it so that it turns out to be a roll, not a snail.
We cut the finished roll into 6 portions, or you can do 4, but then they will turn out tall. Serve immediately after cooking with ginger, wasabi and soy sauce.
Bon appetit to everyone! 
How to make rolls at home? In general, it’s not difficult.
We prepare the necessary ingredients and equipment.
We will need:
nori; wasabi; cooked sushi rice;
For filling:
- cucumber, carrots, pepper, avocado; fish fillet; soy sauce; pickled or fresh ginger.
You will also need:
- sushi mat; a bowl of warm water; a small piece of fabric.
- Cut the filling into strips.
Spread a sheet of nori on the mat. - Wet the cloth in a bowl of water and wipe the nori sheet with it (so as not to break).
Place the rice from the center to the left. Leave about 2.5-3 cm along the left edge and horizontal edges. Press the rice well.
We put the filling on top in moderation, otherwise excess will lead to the fact that you will not be able to roll the roll.
Using a mat, roll the roll from the left edge.
Use your fingers to form a roll and at the same time distribute the filling evenly.
When about 2-3 cm of nori remains unwrapped, moisten this part with water for better gluing.
Press the wet edge onto the roll.
Lightly press the entire roll using a mat.
And we unfold.
You made a roll, and maybe even more than one!
All that remains is to cut and serve with sauce, wasabi and ginger.
Now you know how to make rolls!!!

Several years ago, when I first tried Rolls, I really liked them, and I wanted to learn how to cook them at home. After some time I succeeded. I am sure that there is still a need for instructions on how to make rolls at home. The other day I also made Philadelphia cheese for lunch.
And I will be happy to share this recipe with you today, because... these are my favorite rolls. Thanks to Philadelphia cheese and ripe Avocado, the rolls turn out very tasty and tender. And today we will learn how to make them.
Ingredients:
Rice
Avocado
Philadelphia cheese
Lemon
Soy sauce
Rice vinegar
Sushi nori
Wasabi
Ginger
Mat
Instructions:
Cook the rice in a double boiler, using 2 tablespoons per sheet of nori.
In a steamer, rice turns out especially tasty. When the rice is ready, add a little salt and rice vinegar to it, mixing thoroughly.
While the rice is cooking, we prepare the filling for the Roll. Cut Avocado and Philadelphia Cheese into long slices.
Now let's prepare the mat and nori seaweed. To do this, we will take and cut a standard sheet of nori in half. Avocado rolls are usually small in size, so we can save money and make nice, neat half sheet rolls.
You may have difficulty laying out the rice; it may stick to your hands. For this we will prepare lemon juice. And before we take the rice in our hands, we moisten them with this juice.
Wet your hands in lemon juice and take a small ball of rice.
Carefully, starting from one side, spread a thin layer of rice over the surface of the nori sheet, leaving one centimeter empty at the bottom.
Place Avocado and Philadelphia cheese in the middle of the rice.
Using a mat, wrap the roll so that the remaining centimeter of the sheet is wrapped around the roll.
We wrap the roll to the end and give it a round shape.
We go through all the steps with each sheet of nori.
Now, using a sharp knife, rinsed under cold water before each cut, cut the long roll into 6 pieces.
Serve Rolls with Avocado and Philadelphia cheese need with soy sauce, ginger and wasabi.
Today we learned how to prepare Rolls at home, there were such important points as how to properly lay out the rice on a sheet so that it does not stick to your hands; the importance of a wet knife for accurate cutting of rolls and other interesting points.
There are thousands of recipes and guides for making rolls on the Russian Internet, so we decided to do our bit and post a short review of making rolls at home. Plus, you can appreciate the benefits of making rolls at home rather than purchasing them.
Cost of ingredients for rolls.
Let's start with the most interesting thing: how much will it cost us to collect all the necessary ingredients to make rolls at home. If you are making rolls at home for the first time, the cost will obviously be higher, since you will have to buy additional necessary components and cooking tools. For example, you will have to buy a mat on which tubes from sheets of nori will be rolled out in the future. You will also have to buy soy sauce and wasabi if you want everything to be no worse than the product ordered. However, this is a justified expense: the mat can be used many times, just like wasabi, most likely you won’t be able to eat it at one time (it all depends on the volume of the tube).
I will try to list the products, tools that we will need to make rolls with trout, cucumber, avocado and cheese, as well as their cost. At the time of writing, the value of the dollar was about 32 rubles.
The cost of cucumbers is 20 rubles (40 rubles per kilogram), the cost of avocados is 30 rubles (60 rubles per kilogram).
Rice vinegar cost 60 rubles, but it should last for a long time.
Ten sheets of nori cost 100 rubles, which is probably one of the most expensive ingredients when making rolls.
The cost of fish is 150 rubles. Fish is the main component of rolls, so the tastier the fish, the better the rolls.
A mat can be purchased for 100 rubles. Professional, large mats cost about 500 rubles or more, but an ordinary small, amateur mat is suitable for us, which is actually no worse, except that you can’t make many rolls on it at one time.
The cost of the purchased cheese did not exceed 60 rubles. Buy the cheese you like best. I think you shouldn’t buy smoked cheese, although with the right ratio of ingredients, rolls with smoked cheese can turn out quite tasty.
The rice used was the most common, short-grain rice for 35 rubles/kg. It seems that the rice that is sold specifically for rolls is just a marketing ploy. The same can be written on sunflower oil: “lactose-free” or on tomatoes: “no cucumbers”. Regarding the fact that regular short-grain rice doesn’t stick, it’s nonsense, “you just don’t know how to cook it,” this is not the first time we’ve used this kind of rice normally and without any problems. We also bought soy sauce (30 rubles) and wasabi (80 rubles). Without buying these ingredients, you will deprive yourself of at least 30% of the pleasure of eating rolls, so do not spare money on them.
Preparing products for rolls.
It's time to get down to business. Let's start by cooking the rice. The rice should look like porridge after cooking, but not fall apart, so keep an eye on it as it cooks. Don't forget to add salt. Add a spoonful of sushi rice vinegar and stir. This simple procedure should not cause any difficulties.
The rice is ready to be put into rolls, so now we move on to cutting the remaining products. We cut everything into long slices, so that the thickness is not very large and approximately the same. By the way, you don’t have to use avocados here at all, it won’t make things worse. Considering that avocado tastes a little like the chlorophyll-free stems of horsetail, popularly called “pistils”, “pestushki” and “pestki” :), then having avocado in rolls may not be necessary. In fact, everything here is limited by your imagination.
We cut the cheese into long longitudinal pieces. Don’t go overboard with the thickness, otherwise you won’t feel anything except cheese and fish.
Cutting an avocado and cucumber is nothing more than repeating the operation with cheese. Make the thickness exactly the same as for cheese slices.
We cut fish. Everything is simple here: you should have a pile of red worms on the table :)
We make rolls with trout, cheese, cucumber and avocado with our own hands.
In fact, the title of this paragraph, namely the phrase “with your own hands,” sounds rather stupid, but this is done so that the likelihood of you visiting this page is higher. And all because we ourselves search in search engines for phrases such as “with our own hands”, “at home”, “on our own”, etc., but this was a lyrical digression. After all the necessary products are cut, you can begin the most interesting part - making rolls. This is where we need a mat.
Place a sheet of dried seaweed nori on the mat. I associate the smell of this product with the sea, probably because the sea smells exactly the same, in general it brings back pleasant memories despite the specific aroma.
Spread the rice over the sheet in a thin layer. Don't make a thick layer, otherwise you can just eat it while snacking on cheese and fish. We leave one edge without rice, otherwise the whole roll will unwind and you won’t get any rolls. We apply everything lengthwise as in the photo, so that we get an even and beautiful layer. Now you can roll the resulting food into a tube.
Carefully roll the sheet of nori into a roll, while folding the mat into an accordion so that it does not interfere with the further process. As a result, you should end up with a composition like this.
Some people think that only big originals and exotic lovers make rolls. There is also an opinion that rolls are boring and monotonous. But it seems to me that this is completely wrong: the taste of the dish changes depending on the filling that is used to prepare them, the main thing is that it is combined with the taste of rice. By the way, rolls can even be sweet if you make the rice sweeter and use fruit fillings.
Today I suggest making rolls with cucumber and avocado. This recipe is suitable for vegetarians and those watching their weight as it is low in calories. In addition, it will help diversify the Lenten table for those who adhere to it.
Ingredients for cucumber and avocado rolls
- sheets of nori (red algae);
- special rice for rolls and sushi (I do not recommend using regular rice);
- wasabi (Japanese spicy seasoning);
- soy sauce;
- pickled ginger;
- rice vinegar;
- cucumber;
- avocado.
Recipe for homemade cucumber and avocado rolls
1) First, cook the rice. Why I don’t recommend using regular rice: it contains a small amount of gluten, and the rice itself turns out watery. As a result, it does not stick well to the nori sheet, and then, wrapped in nori, it saturates the seaweed itself with excess liquid so much that the rolls simply fall apart.
Wash the rice thoroughly, add water in a ratio of 1:1.5 and place on low heat under the lid for 20-25 minutes. Then turn off the rice, season with rice vinegar (for 400 grams of rice, about 100 grams of rice vinegar) and let it cool. (photo 2).
2) While the rice is cooking, you can take care of preparing the filling. In this type of roll, it is simple, but this does not spoil the taste of the roll. Cut the cucumber and avocado into thin strips. Don't forget to peel the avocado. (photo 3, 4).
3) It is most convenient to roll the rolls on a bamboo mat, which can be replaced with a mat made of wooden sticks. Place the sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down. (photo 5).
4) When preparing rolls, you must follow the rules of sanitation by keeping a bowl of water acidified with vinegar nearby for these purposes, in which you must constantly wash your hands when you form the rolls to ensure their cleanliness.
5) Take a handful of rice and level it over the surface of the nori. The upper part should not be filled; it will serve as a so-called “lock” for the roll. (photo 6).
6) If desired (if you like spicier food), you can lightly coat the rice with wasabi. (photo 7).
7) Now place the filling and wrap the roll tightly. (photo 8, 9).
