This is my mom's recipe! Both my husband and I hate shiitake mushrooms in generic sushi rolls, so we often eat salad rolls instead. Even me, being the klutz that I am, can easily make this using ingredients I have on hand!

When laying the rice on the nori, I tend to add more rice to the center than the edges. So to combat this, I consciously spread more rice along the edges (maybe it's just me). When you wet the rice-less nori portion on the top with vinegar, it binds the roll like glue. For 4 futomaki rolls. Recipe by Okansan

Steps

1

Mix up the ◆ and ☆ ingredients separately. Slice a cucumber vertically into fourths. Mix the ★ ingredients and make an atsuyaki tamago (a thick omelet; I make it by stacking several thin omelets together).
2

Add the combined ◆ ingredients to freshly cooked rice cooked with a little less water than normal, cut it with a rice spatula, and let cool.
3

Lay nori seaweed on top of a sushi mat, spread rice over the seaweed, leaving 3-4 cm of the top empty. Lay the ingredients a little lower to the middle, wet the rice-less nori with vinegar and press down on the ingredients as you roll.
4

Tip: In Step 3, pile up a little extra rice in 4 corners of the nori seaweed sheet. If you do this rolled up sushi roll with be evenly thick all the way to the ends, and less likely to rip!
5

Finally, use a slightly wet knife and cut off both ends to make them look pretty.
