Welcome back to another cooking video.
This is Part-2 in my Sushi Cooking Ideas series
in which I bring you ideas and concepts that
are innovative that you can apply to your
sushi and make it interesting and elevate
it to new levels, whether that be in the home
kitchen or the professional kitchen.
Now, for Part-2 I’m going to show you how
to manipulate Nori in a way to make it really
pop and stand out from the rest.
You’ll have a really hard time finding this
in sushi restaurants around because it’s
a pretty much brand new idea.
What you’re going to need is one of these
paper stamps, it’s got this pattern on top
and on the sides and you just press it down
to cut your paper.
I’m going to take this Nori and just slice
a strip off like you would for a Gunkan Maki
or Battleship sushi, and just place it in
between the slot of the paper stamp, just
like so until it aligns with the pattern,
and then just press down.
That will cut the Nori and then you just move
it to the side and align it with the pattern
on the side here and then you press down again
and it cuts it on the right spot.
Now you move to the other side and you just
press down again and you cut it, and then
you’ve got this beautifully cut piece of
Nori with a pattern stamped out.
I’m just going to clean this away and then
take a little bit of sushi rice in a ball
what you would use for a Gunkan Maki and wrap
this round just like this.
Now I’m going to take some wasabi and fill
it up with something, for example salmon roe,
but you can fill it up with whatever you want.
It’s just about the cutout Nori and interesting
things that you can do with it to make your
sushi a little bit more interesting.
Now, you could also do it with a sushi roll.
Here I’ve got a sushi roll and I’m just
going to place the Nori up against the side
just like this, I’m going to do the same
on the other side just like so, and then I’m
just going to press it on with a bamboo rolling
mat, just like this, just to make sure it
adheres properly to the rice.
After I’ve done that I’m going to cut
it like I normally would, so I’m going to
cut it in half and here we’re going to cut
it into quarters, one side and the other side.
Then again just press it down with a bamboo
rolling mat just to firm it up again and then
here we go, nice beautiful simple little sushi
roll with an interesting pattern of Nori on
the outside.
I’ve got another one here that’s different
cuts that makes butterflies, into a sort of
ribbon.
Again just cut and line it up and then just
bring it to the other side and line it up
with the pattern on the side of this machine
and then you press down again.
Here this creates a ribbon instead, so you’ve
got a beautiful ribbon made of butterflies
in Nori.
I’m just going to take some sushi rolls,
here I’ve got three that have been cut and
here I just place my lace ribbon on top of
this and just press it down against it.
Now it’s got a beautiful little butterfly
pattern on it.
This is just a very simple salmon roll just
to show you the idea but you can apply this
to any of your sushi to make it a bit more
interesting and just more beautiful.
There we go – done!
Alright, so this is the end of the video.
I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you apply
this concept to your sushi and make it pop.

video then I’ll link them in the description
