Salmon and Avocado Fat Sushi Rolls (Futomaki) Salmon and Avocado Fat Sushi Rolls (Futomaki)
I love this combination in my futomaki.If you make the sushi vinegar in advance, the flavors blend together and become more tasty. If you cook the rice with a piece of kombu, you don't need to add the kombu based dashi stock to the sushi vinegar. Be careful not to drink the sushi vinegar by mistake when it's stored in the refrigerator! This happened once in our house, so ever since then I've written "Do Not Drink. Sushi Vinegar" on the label with a thick pen. For 6 fat sushi rolls. Recipe by Naopu -

Add whatever ingredients you desire. It will look nice and colorful if you consciously add red, yellow, and green ingredients. For 4 rolls. Recipe by Taunbi- -

Seafood Ehomaki (Lucky Fat Sushi Rolls) Seafood Ehomaki (Lucky Fat Sushi Rolls)
Since year after year, my family won't eat store-bought ehomaki, so I make them at home with seafood filling. By serving home-made ehomaki, I can save money, too.With about 720 to 900 ml of uncooked rice I was able to make 5 sushi rolls with a little bit of leftover sushi rice. Wrapping them with a sushi mat is, of course, OK! My kids and husband don't really like futomaki with dried gourd shavings or denbu (dried fish flakes), so I made ones that they would like. For those using store-bought sushi vinegar, please use 135 ml. For 5 servings. Recipe by Kyoku. -

Lucky Ehoumaki Sushi Rolls with Flower Petals Lucky Ehoumaki Sushi Rolls with Flower Petals
I tried making this sushi roll for my son before his exam after my mother's friend told me that she got into her first choice school after eating one of these lucky rolls. Whether it helps or not, I wanted to make something that looked like it contains flower petals anyway.When placing the sausages on the rice make sure to press down the rice over the top firmly to fix them in place. This will stop them from moving during rolling and keep the v-cut on the outside of the roll. Be careful not to pack too much rice between the sausages. I have a feeling I used quite a lot in the photograph. Recipe by Pata mama -
