- STEP 1 – DEFROST FISH You receive our fish frozen. In order to maintain the sashimi quality of our products, we ask you to thaw them very gently and slowly. To do this, place the products in cold water for 15-20 minutes while still in the packaging. Then take it out of the packaging, cover it in kitchen paper and let it thaw in the fridge at 3-5 °C for several hours. Finally, take it out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for a while. You can find further information under our defrosting instructions.
- STEP 2 – COOK RICE In the meantime, you can start preparing the sushi rice. To do this, rinse the rice, preferably short-grain rice, several times in a sieve under cold running water. Then put the rice in a pot with water in a ratio of 1 to 1.2. So for every cup of rice there are 1.2 cups of water. Bring the whole thing to a boil briefly and then let it simmer at a reduced temperature under a closed lid for 15 minutes until the rice has absorbed the water.
- STEP 3 – RICE BECOMES SUSHI RICE In a separate pot, mix rice vinegar, salt, sugar and, if desired, a dash of sake over low heat. As soon as the cooked rice has cooled down a little, mix the mixture with the rice. Finally, cover the pot with a kitchen towel so that any remaining moisture can be absorbed and allow the rice to cool before using.
- STEP 4 – PREPARE THE INGREDIENTS Depending on your taste, wash avocado, cucumber, carrots or other vegetables and cut into fine strips. Also cut 3-4 millimeter thin slices of the fish fillet diagonally. To do this, use a sharp knife and cut with an even movement without pressure so as not to damage the fish.
- STEP 5 – ROLL SUSHI Cut the nori sheet rectangularly. Wrap the bamboo mat in cling film, place the nori sheet on top and spread the cooked rice on the seaweed sheet. It is helpful to dip your fingers in cold water so that the rice doesn't stick to your fingers too much. Depending on your taste, spread a pinch of wasabi on the rice and finally place the fish and the desired vegetables parallel to the rice. Then use the bamboo mat to roll the nori sheet and rice around the ingredients and press firmly. To finish, cut the sushi roll into 2-3 centimeter wide pieces.
