Chikuwa and Cucumber Sushi Roll

I brought this to a cherry-blossom viewing picnic and they were a hit, so I've been making them often every since.These sushi rolls are made easy by using commercial chirashi sushi mix.You can use whatever fillings you like. You can use spinach instead of broccolini or mix in some chirimen jako or sesame seeds into the rice. For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by ooma kitchen

I saw a TV program that showed flower-shaped sushi rolls, and I wanted to try making it myself. The ones on the TV program used kampyo (strips of reconstituted gourd) and vegetables for the center of the flowers, but I like tuna, so I made a tuna version.In Step 5, set the rolls of pink rice so that the open sides are tilted a bit toward the inside of the big roll.

When I was young, I often asked my mother to put these in my bentos for excursions and sporting events. I love how it feels like a salad, even though it's actually a main dish.Apparently, these lettuce rolls are originally from Miyazaki prefecture!! I had no idea. I live somewhere else, but I had them all the time as a child, so I grew up thinking they were known throughout the country. If you've never had these before, please give them a try! I've heard that people in Miyazaki use boiled shrimp instead of crab sticks! That sounds good, too!I didn't include cucumbers here, but they make a great filling for these rolls as well.This dish is a great when lettuce is inexpensive! Recipe by pom130

I've been eating natto and kimchi for some time already, but I saw on a TV show that nori seaweed cleanses your blood, so I made this roll. It's been a lunch staple ever since.There's no need to use a sushi roll mat. Just roll it up, take a bite and enjoy.In order to prevent the natto from coming out as you eat it, press the opposite end of the roll tightly closed with your fingers!You won't have a dirty plate, so cleanup is easy too.

I made sushi rolls out of leftover tonkatsu, and it was actually tasty.Because I wanted to serve it with veggies, I added cabbage that's sweetened with honey mustard sauce.You can omit the cabbage if it's too much trouble.Please adjust the amount of rice if it's too much or not enough when you're rolling it up.Serve as it is, or with soy sauce, mayonnaise, or any other sauce of your choice. For 2 whole rolls. Recipe by Kikka mama

With these tonkatsu rolls, you can enjoy two delicious dishes at once!I used the tonkatsu in, which is a multi-layered pork belly version.In Step 2, you can add mayonnaise to the tonkatsu sauce. For 1 roll. Recipe by Plus Nine

Nankan-age is a type of flat fried tofu or aburaage, that is a traditional food speciality from the town of Nankan in Kumamoto prefecture. Each piece of Nankan-age is big, about 30cm long. They keep well, and have a different texture from regular aburaage. I combined sushi rice flavored with homemade new harvest ginger pickled in sweet vinegar and fragrant roasted sesame seeds with sweet-salty simmered Nankan-age for a "aburaage sushi roll with a twist."By simmering the Nankan-age, it absorbs lots of dashi stock and the flavoring ingredients and improves in flavor and texture. I wrapped ginger and sesame-accented sushi rice with richly flavored Nankan-age. The fillings of asparagus, crab stick and tuna are minimally flavored, to feature the inherent umami of the ingredients themselves. Recipe by Marire-nu

This is our family's regular sushi roll. For 3 whole rolls. Recipe by Nanaiku

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

Ginger pork and rice go so well together, so I made a sushi roll with the combination.Make sure to wrap the sushi roll securely, and leave it for a while after it's rolled up so it settles down! Thinly sliced pork is easier to roll than pork cut for ginger pork. Recipe by Azumin25

My friend made these for me once and I wanted to try making a macrobiotic version.Place the umeboshi on top of the side of the cucumber with the skin. If the umeboshi comes into contact with the moist cucumber flesh, it will become too wet. Instead of cucumber you can fill these rolls with Japanese yams, cooked dried shiitake mushrooms, carrots boiled in salt water, tamagoyaki, etc. Whatever you want! Recipe by Ruruko
