🥒 Kappamaki: Craving for a Crunchy Cucumber Roll?

Known for its refreshing and crunchy texture, the Kappamaki is a classic vegetarian roll. It's simple, consisting of sushi rice, a strip of cucumber, and wrapped in nori (seaweed). You can learn how to make this roll with our sushi making guide.

🍳 Tamagoyaki: Sweet Tooth for a Sweet Egg Roll, Anyone?

Another non-fish option is the Tamagoyaki. This roll is made by rolling up a sweet, thick Japanese omelette and sushi rice in a sheet of nori. The egg is slightly sweet and balances well with the tanginess of the sushi rice. A perfectly cooked sushi rice is key here.

🍣 Uramaki: Fancy Trying an Inside-Out Roll? It's Easier Than You Think!

The Uramaki or inside-out roll is a popular choice for those new to sushi. The rice is on the outside of the roll, making it less intimidating for sushi beginners. It can be filled with anything, but common fillings include avocado, cucumber, and crab stick (which is cooked).

Let's dive into the process of rolling your own Uramaki. Don't be intimidated, it's easier than you think!

Mastering the Art of Uramaki: The Inside-Out Roll

Prepare Your Ingredients

First things first, gather your ingredients. You'll need sushi rice, nori sheets, and your chosen fillings. For a traditional Uramaki, consider avocado, cucumber, and crab stick.

Spread the Rice

Lay your nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, then spread your sushi rice evenly over the nori. Remember, with Uramaki, the rice is on the outside!

Flip It Over

Once your rice is spread, flip the nori sheet over so the rice is facing down. This is the 'inside-out' part of the Uramaki roll.

Add the Fillings

Now it's time to add your fillings. Lay them along the center of the nori sheet. Don't overfill it, or it'll be difficult to roll.

Roll It Up

Using your bamboo sushi mat, gently roll the sushi into a tight roll. Take your time, and make sure the roll is even.

Slice and Serve

Finally, using a sharp knife, slice your Uramaki into bite-sized pieces. And voila, you've made your own Uramaki sushi roll!
