Sushi is
one of the most famous dishes in the world. It’s easy to find Japanese and
Asian restaurants in which enjoy this delicacy.
By reason
of the landing of Antonio Mata and the best Ham from Spain
to Macau and Hong Kong , we want to prepare
this recipe of sushi. Spanish and Asian fusion.
Within all
types of sushi, with regional variations and different ways of cooking, we
highlight the most popular:
- Maki: are these ring of vegetables, rice and fish wrapped in seaweed chips.
- Nigiri: rectangular shaped rice covered by a piece of raw fish, meat or seafood.
Here we
make a simple Nigiri recipe. We’ve called ‘Antonio Mata Sushi’
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of white rice (sumeshi)
- 6 slices of Ham from Teruel PDO (Spanish Cured Ham)
- Wasabi
- Rice vinegar
- Sugar
Preparation:
First of
all is to prepare the rice mixture. We mix the rice vinegar and sugar in a
bowl, on a ratio of 3 to 1, so 3 tablespoons of vinegar to 1 of sugar. Disolve
the sugar as much as possible.
Put one cup
of rice in a colander under running water and clean it to remove starch. Once
clean, threw in a pot over medium heat, without oil or salt. Stir the rice and
drop boiling water (2 cups of water for each one of rice). The rice has to be
over 20 minutes. Be careful to keep it from sticking. Remove from the heat and
put it on a tray. Slowly pour the vinegar mixture that we had prepared. Cool to
room temperature for several hours.
Once is
cool, using your hands (you can also do it with a mold), form 6 rectangular
pieces of soggy rice. Spread each slice of Ham from Teruel PDO with a pinch of
wasabi and cover every piece of rice. We can serve with soy, wasabi and ginger
on the side.
As you can
see is a very easy recipe, although it should be a little forethought and
prepare the rice with a few hours in advance.
Hope that
you dare to try it at home. Enjoy!
