Ingredients
3 cups water
2 cups Japanese short-grain white rice
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2.5 tablespoons white sugar
4 ounces yellowtail flounder
0.25 cups Japanese mayonnaise
, such as Kewpie
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
4 sheetss nori
, dry seaweed
0.25 medium cucumber
, peeled and julienned
2 tablespoons tobiko
, flying fish roe
Instructions
1
Rinse rice under cold running water until it runs clear.
2
Bring water and rice to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat to a simmer; simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, let rice sit without opening the lid for 20 minutes; the remaining steam continues to cook the rice.
3
Stir rice wine vinegar and sugar together in a small bowl until sugar mostly dissolved; stir into rice. Cool rice, 15 to 20 minutes.
4
Chop yellowtail into 1/4-inch cubes; add to a bowl. Stir in mayonnaise and Sriracha; set aside. Cover a bamboo sushi rolling mat with plastic wrap; set aside.
5
Lay 1 nori sheet on a work surface, shiny-side down. Place 1/4 rice on nori, spread evenly from edge to edge, about 1/4-inch thick. Flip nori onto the prepared plastic-covered mat. Place 1/4 each yellowtail mixture and cucumber in a line along one short edge.
6
Roll rice and nori sheet around filling, using the bamboo mat to help. Press roll tightly to form a uniform log. Spread 1/2 tablespoon tobiko in a long thin line across top of roll. Press roll with bamboo mat. Repeat with remaining nori sheets, rice, yellowtail mixture, cucumber, and tobiko.
7
Cover rolls with plastic wrap; press again with bamboo mat. Slice each roll into 8 pieces using a very sharp, wet, clean knife. Remove plastic wrap before serving.
