I love making sushi at home! It usually ends up taking a lot longer than I plan, so one day I decided to streamline it.
I bought sushi rice from a local restaurant, and found frozen tempura shrimp at WalMart (and have since also used popcorn shrimp). I usually make a few kinds of rolls, usually a mixture of crab, avocado, cucumber, green onion, and shrimp. My favorite, though, is a shrimp tempura roll topped with steak.
Ingredients:
lean thick steak
frozen fried shrimp
avocado (sliced)
cucumber (cut into matchstick size pieces)
rice
sushi paper
mayo
sriracha sauce
rice wine
sugar
soy sauce
green onions (for garnish)
Cook steak to medium rare and let rest, and cook shrimp according to box directions.
Bring 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup rice wine, and 1/3 cup sugar to a boil, and let it reduce down until thick. This will be one of your sauces.
Mix 1/3 cup mayo with a few tablespoons of sriracha sauce (adjust according to how spicy you like things) and a teaspoon of sugar.
Place rice onto sushi paper and flip down onto a rolling mat covered with cling wrap. You can get a sushi rolling mat at most grocery stores now, or an asian market, or order online.
Add the shrimp and veggies, and roll the sushi up (I'd suggest a youtube video if you're not sure of the process).
Then thinly slice the steak and place it on top. Cut the sushi into pieces.
Top with both sauces, and garnish with green onion.
In the picture it is the roll all the way to the right.
