Ingredients
- 30g oval mound Sushi rice
- 1 (2cm x 15cm) Nori strip
- heaping tablespoon Salmon roe (ikura)
- tiny dab optional Wasabi
- dipping Soy sauce
Method
- Prepare sushi rice as standard – perfectly seasoned and cooled.
- Wet hands with vinegar water, form rice into a firm oval mound about 4cm long x 3cm wide x 2cm high.
- Wrap nori strip vertically around rice mound, overlapping slightly; seal with a grain of rice to form a 'battleship' wall about 1cm higher than rice.
- Ensure nori seam is at back for clean presentation.
- Place small dab of wasabi on rice if desired.
- Carefully spoon marinated salmon roe into nori cup, piling high so eggs glisten.
- Serve immediately – eggs should burst in mouth with briny pop against vinegared rice.
