Main Ingredients- 4 pcs Soy-marinated shrimp
- 5 pcs Seasoned shrimp
- 60g Fresh sprouts (e.g., radish sprouts)
- 15g Sea grapes (umibudo)
- 1 pc Tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet)
- 3 Tbsp Fresh wasabi
- 1 Tbsp Sushi soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Ponzu sauce
- 2 bowls Cooked rice
- 2 Tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the soy-marinated shrimp by removing the shells and slicing them in half lengthwise. This makes them easy to place on sushi and allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 2
Select 2 pieces of the seasoned shrimp to be placed on top of the sushi. Like the soy-marinated shrimp, remove their shells and slice them thinly for topping.
Step 3
For the hand rolls, take the remaining 3 pieces of seasoned shrimp. Remove their shells and finely chop them. This will create a delicious filling for your temaki.
Step 4
Arrange your prepared toppings: sliced tamagoyaki, the prepared soy-marinated shrimp, and the sliced seasoned shrimp for topping. Keep the finely chopped seasoned shrimp separate, as it’s destined for your hand rolls.
Step 5
Gather the ingredients for the hand rolls: crisp sprouts and the uniquely popping sea grapes. These will add wonderful texture and freshness.
Step 6
Let’s make the sushi vinegar (sushi-zu). In a bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Then, gently mix this seasoned vinegar into the warm cooked rice. Ensure the rice is evenly coated for perfect sushi rice.
Step 7
Your sushi rice is ready, and so is the fresh wasabi, which will provide a pleasant kick.
Step 8
Wet your hands with water (wearing disposable gloves is recommended) and shape the sushi rice into individual portions. Gently press a small amount of fresh wasabi onto each rice ball. Then, carefully place your prepared shrimp (soy-marinated or seasoned) on top of the wasabi and rice.
Step 9
Create two pieces of nigiri sushi using the fresh sashimi. Also, make tamagoyaki sushi by topping rice with a slice of the rolled omelet. For the shrimp sushi, add a generous garnish of fresh sprouts. The sashimi and tamagoyaki sushi are topped with sea grapes for an extra touch of elegance. Your shrimp sushi is now complete! Now, let’s move on to the hand rolls.
Step 10
Cut a sheet of nori (seaweed) in half. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori. Lightly brush with wasabi, then add a generous amount of the finely chopped seasoned shrimp in the center.
Step 11
Optionally, add tamagoyaki, sprouts, and sea grapes to your liking. Then, tightly roll the nori into a cone shape to form a beautiful hand roll (temaki).
Step 12
Here’s a top-down view of the cone-shaped temaki. Doesn’t it look appetizing? A small word of caution: seasoned shrimp can be quite spicy, so the addition of tamagoyaki, sprouts, and sea grapes helps to balance the heat beautifully.
Step 13
While all the ingredients were prepped beforehand, the process of forming the sushi and hand rolls took about 40 minutes (especially if you’re not a professional chef!). But the result is worth it: delicious soy-marinated and seasoned shrimp sushi, and flavorful hand rolls packed with sea grapes and sprouts. Enjoy your abundant and tasty sushi platter!
