Mosaic Sushi Roll Evolution
Welcome back to yet another Sushi Roll video.
Now this week I am going to show you guys
something pretty amazing, the mosaic sushi
roll evolution.
This will basically be the second evolution
of the mosaic sushi roll.
The program of the initial mosaic sushi roll,
if you haven't seen it just click on the picture
now and you'll get to see that video.
Now let's not wait anymore, let's go straight
into it.
Alright so now it's very important that you
find a very small thin cucumber, because the
bigger the cucumber piece the bigger the end
piece of sushi is going to be, so you have
to make sure it's tiny and very thin.
Now you want to cut it just the length of
half a sheet of Nori so it fully stretches
across.
And now what you want to do is just simply
slice it in half.
Okay then slice the halves into quarters but
don't slice it directly into quarters, for
example this one I want to make it slightly
smaller because I find it too big.
So what I am going to do is find the middle
and then just cut just to one side and just
to the other side, making smaller quarters
and then there will be a little excess piece,
which I'll throw away or just use for something
else.
Okay now just flip these over and just even
them out, okay perfect.
So what you want to do here is just make smaller
quarters so the sushi roll isn't too big -- so
that's two of them done and then now the same
with this.
Find the middle and just trim to one side.
Okay, the bigger these quarters are will dictate
how big your sushi roll is and you want to
be able to eat it in one go, so it's best
to make these a lot smaller than they actually
are.
Okay, so here are my four quarters and these
are now going to make the corners of my sushi
roll.
Now to just check that you've done the correct
cuts, just assemble your cucumber back together
and it should be like a smaller cucumber.
Okay, so now you've got a much smaller cucumber
than before and you can't find these naturally
this size, so just perfect.
What you want to do is just take half of your
sheets of Nori, one of them and add 60-grams
of cooked white sushi rice.
Now if you don't know how to make this, a
link has just appeared on the top left corner
which will take you to my website where you
can know how to make perfect sushi rice.
You just spread it thinly, start at one end
and just make sure you cover it with a very
thin layer.
You won't reach the end but that's the entire
idea here.
Just place your cucumber down and now you
simply roll it.
Okay now when it reaches the end just trim
off whatever excess there is, because you
don't want to have it going round in a spiral,
so just like that, there you go -- that's
fine, perfectly fine.
Okay, this you can just discard.
This time take the pink sushi rice, this is
about 8-grams, don't take all of it, just
take 90% of it, leave a little bit there,
and then you just start to spread it out again.
Okay, so a very nice thin layer.
Now if you want to know how to make this pink
sushi rice, click on the link that has just
appeared on the top left corner and it will
take you to a video of how to make pink sushi
rice.
Okay, perfect, now you take your primary roll
and you put it inside this one, okay now you
roll it around again.
Now see here, perfect, it meets rice to rice
and then you just keep rolling and you seal
it.
Now here where there is a little flap, what
you want to do is just take a couple little
pieces of rice and just squish it here and
that will act as glue and you'll close up
without any problems -- perfect.
Now put this to one side.
Alright so now what you want to do is just
simply slice the role in half taking into
consideration where the cucumber is already
cut in half.
So you don't want to cut them again.
Now that is cut in half, just cut into quarters,
going through the same line -- perfect and
perfect.
If you want to use the same knife as I'm using
in this video I have made a video about the
knives I use and you can click on the link
which has just appeared on the top left corner.
Alright just put them to one side, your quarters,
perfect.
And now what you want to do is you want to
take two half sheets of Nori and just simply
glue them together by using a couple of little
pieces of sushi rice.
So you just take sushi rice and you squish
it across one side, like so, and then you
just put them overlapping each other and that
works as glue -- perfect.
Now place your quarters, one here and the
other one the opposite way around so that
there is a nice v-shape between the two.
Okay, in this v-shape just add a little bit
of carrot sauce, you can learn how to make
this on the video link which has just appeared
on the top left corner, and just put a very
little bit, if you put too much it will ooze
out the sides and you really don't want that
to happen.
Alright so you just lay a piece of sashimi
grade tuna right there like so, and then you
add a piece of salmon just on one of the faces,
the same size.
And then opposite piece of salmon on the opposite
side, just like so -- perfect.
And then the last piece of tuna on the top.
If you slot them together it should make a
beautiful pattern like so.
Okay now you just add a little bit of your
carrot ginger sauce again on top, not too
much otherwise it oozes out the sides.
Okay, and then you add your remaining quarter
pieces, one here and the other one on the
opposite side -- remember cucumber is on the
outside.
Then you hold it together and you just flip
it over.
And then you just keep flipping it over until
there is no more space -- perfect.
Okay now when you come to the end what you
do is you add a couple more pieces of rice
just to glue it together -- perfect.
Now to cut the sushi roll, what you want to
do is you want to have a nice damp cloth just
to dampen the knife up, slightly wet the edge.
Alright and then you just simply cut quickly
a very thin piece so that there is a nice
defined edge.
There we go, beautiful.
Now this you can throw away or eat, whatever
you want.
This is excess.
And now in between cuts just clean off the
knife and then very quickly slice through
-- look at that beautiful pattern, it's just...it's
a beauty.
Alright, I think my work here is done.
