Packed Eel Sushi

This is my son's favorite eel sushi. When I want to fill him up with eel sushi, it's too expensive to buy packaged sushi. Nigiri sushi is hard to make but pressed sushi is easy to make with seasoned eel, and he can eat to his heart's content. I started making this filling dish at home.
There are no difficult steps. You just put the eel on top after making the sushi rice. For 2 servings. Recipe by rokuro

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 cookpad.japan -

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. cookpad.japan
