Maki Sushi recipes
Maki sushi is a term used to describe any type of rolled sushi. A sushi roll consists of a
layer of vinegared sushi rice that is spread onto a toasted sheet of nori seaweed, filled with a variety of tasty
ingredients, then carefully rolled into a cylinder and cut into smaller pieces.
Maki sushi comes in three different sizes. These are as follows:
 |
Thin rolls (hoso-maki) - This type of sushi roll is made using
half a sheet of toasted nori, 1/2 cup of sushi rice and one ingredient. A thin sushi roll is the
trickest kind to make and takes a lot of practice. |
 |
Medium rolls (chu-maki) - This sushi roll uses an entire sheet
of nori, a cup of sushi rice and two or three ingredients. |
 |
Thick rolls (futo-maki) - This one is a biggie! A cup and a
half of sushi rice is spread onto a full sheet of toasted nori and topped with four or more
ingredients. |
