Step by step

Method

  1. 01

    The Mosaic Rolls look very impressive, especially for home kitchens. It is quite simple to cook if you know how to twist rolls at least a little. I did it for the first time and this is what happened.

  2. 02

    Pre-cook rice for sushi (special or round-grain Krasnodar, as an option): wash the rice in cold water, then pour it with cold water in the ratio of 1 part of rice : 1.25 parts of water, bring to boiling, cover and cook over low heat for 14 minutes without opening the lid! Then gently shake, if desired, add rice vinegar. Cook from warm rice by wetting your hands with acidified vinegar water. Salmon or trout salt (the recipe on the site is) or buy. Without caviar, you can do and leave the rice either white, or coloring it with turmeric or something edible. Pick up a cucumber of small diameter, cut the nori leaf into 2 halves.

  3. 03

    Pair and mix the rice with tobiko.

  4. 04

    Determine which part of the nori to apply the rice to. To do this, simply wrap the cucumber with a sheet of nori algae and mark for yourself the area that you need to cover with rice. Put the required amount of rice on a nori in a thin layer.

  5. 05

    Wrap the cucumber so that a round flat roll is obtained, fix with a maquis / mat.

  6. 06

    Then cut the roll into 2 parts - in half.

  7. 07

    Carefully sharp knife cut each half in half.

  8. 08

    On the second half of the nori, put 2 segments of the roll, i.e. 2 quarters, cucumber out.

  9. 09

    Between them, lay a piece (block) of salmon or trout and fix the structure with maquis/cinovka.

  10. 10

    Next, again put 2 quarters of the roll with a cucumber, so that the cucumber was outside, and the outside side - nori, as if wrapping the fish, fix so that the section was square, and it will turn out by itself.

  11. 11

    Wrap this whole structure with free nori ends.

  12. 12

    Set the square shape of the Mosaic roll.

  13. 13

    Cut the roll with a sharp knife soaked in water with a light movement without pressing. First, trim its edges, because they are curved, but edible, although not of a commercial appearance, and cut the rest into 4-6 lobes.

  14. 14

    The mosaic roll is ready. Serve with soy sauce and pickled ginger.

Ready to serve

Serve the dish as directed and enjoy it while it is at its best.
