Hi !Sharing Caring CULTURE wants to share some Japanese food recipes used in our Japanese cooking class for foreigners in Tama-plaza Yokohama.Taught by Naoko Yamazaki, qualified ,experienced instructor in the comfort of her own home. She has a passion for offering easy recipes that can cook with simple steps and recreate at home.Ehomaki (Futomaki) is a long sushi roll which you eat all in one go on the night of Setsubun, while facing silently toward the year's "lucky" direction, wishing for perfect health and praying for prosperity of business. Actually, Futomaki is eaten on any occasion. Each family choose different fillings for futomaki, but common ingredients include cucumber, seasoned kanpyo (gourd strips), simmered shiitake mushrooms, tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled egg omelette).Why not try making healthy thick sushi rolls at home?

Ehou-maki is usually quite pricey. My husband doesn't like usual fillings such as kanpyo or denbu. I like thin sushi rolls with just cream cheese and bonito flakes served with soy sauce but for making a proper ehou-maki I put together other ingredients. I don't like the crispy texture of cucumber so much so I always cut into small pieces first. If you like, just cut into 1/4 lengthwise."Temizu" (for Steps 9 & 13) is the mixture of equal portions of water and vinegar. The 7 fillings here are eggs, bonito flakes with soy sauce, cucumber, cream cheese, crab sticks, lettuce and black sesame seeds. Cover the rest of sushi rice with a moistened tea towel while making a sushi roll. The key to rolling a sushi roll is to do it quickly. When you place the fillings put the messy ones in first. It's easier that way. For 2 rolls (using 1.5 rice cooker cups, or about 270 ml). Recipe by Run.

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

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

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

I am bored of making the same thing again, so this year I set my theme for my ehoumaki as lucky colours. I should be super lucky...Do not use too much fillings or it will be very difficult to roll. This one big sushi roll feeds two people easily. Recipe by ochikeron

I make sushi rice a lot. You can prepare sushi rolls with all kinds of ingredients with it, so it's fun!Make the rolls in one go without hesitating. Press firmly over the sushi mat to tidy up the shape of the roll. Recipe by Sanipan

a lot of work if you plan on find a number of people but its fun to make and it will always impress!

I bought sushi rolls like this at the supermarket last year, and they were amazingly good. So this year, I made it myself without waiting for them to appear on supermarket shelves.In Step 2, just make sure to squeeze out the broccolini very well.If you prefer the flavoring to be less salty, use 1 tablespoon of shiro-dashi (dashi and soy sauce concentrate) with 1 tablespoon of water instead of the soy sauce. My husband prefers this flavoring. For 2 rolls. Recipe by Mo-ri- mama

Thinking that cucumber rolls wouldn't be quite satisfying enough, I tried making the rolls with cucumbers stuffed in flavored chikuwa.It's best to go a little sparingly with the sushi rice.Try spreading a touch of wasabi if you like. For 2 rolls. Recipe by Poron526

I thought up a recipe reflecting the season.If you are making sushi rice with less than 2 small bowls of rice, you can mix it all together in the rice cooker without a problem. If making more than that, it is better to transfer it to a large bowl. For 3 futomaki rolls. Recipe by Asamato
