It’s not difficult in finding the ingredients to make sushi, what’s hard is how to make them, because making them require special skills. Wanna try? here’s Unagi Crunchy Roll Recipe you could try..

Ingredients:

• 60 grams of sushi rice
• 30 grams of unagi (eel)
• 5 sheets of nori (seaweed)
• 20 grams of crab stick
• 20 grams of kyuri (japanese cucumber)
• 10 grams of mayonnaise
• 10 grams of tempura powder

Extra ingredients:

• shoyu (japanese soy sauce) for dipping the sushi
• wasabi, (japanese hot paste) if you like them, I personally only goes with the shoyu, because the wasabi is terribly bitter for me.

Directions:

1. Cut the unagi horizontally, cut the crab stick horizontally too
2. spread the sushi rice on the bamboo roll that had already been coated with plastic wrap
3. turn the nori so that the rice is on the upper side
4. put the fillings like mayonnaise, kyuri, crab stick and tempura powder, then roll it up until they close and lock together
5. put the unagi on top of the finished roll. press and shape it with the bamboo roll so they are lock together.
6. slice the roll in 8 pieces, serve with wasabi and shoyu if you like

Tips:

• Nori is a dried seaweed that shapes like thin square paper sheet, it’s greenish but dark
• crab stick is processed crab meat that already had sugar and salt. it’s cylindrical with orange-reddish color, sold as frozen goods at supermarkets.
• Unagi no Kabayaki is fillet of eels meat that had already had dark soy sauce, then boiled and grilled until it’s dry. sold in plastic wrap and ready to eat.
• Sushi bamboo roll is used to roll the sushi
