Instructions

Step 1: adding rice and masago Spread out 160 grams of cooked sushi rice on a sheet of nori. Cover 60% of the sheet, then spread some masago (seasoned capelin roe) over it or sprinkle roasted sesame seeds over the rice.

Step 2: adding the filling Put a bamboo rolling mat in a zip-lock bag. Flip over the nori sheet and place it on the rolling mat rice-side down. Put the filling on the part that’s not covered with rice. For filling, use: – half a tempura soft shell crab.

You can order ready-made okonomiyaki sauce, or make it yourself. This is the most basic recipe. 3 tablespoons tomato ketchup

1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce Mix together. Done!

Step 3: rolling the roll Fold the mat over the filling, while holding the filling in place with your thumbs. Pause a few times to firm up the roll by applying pressure along the length of the mat. Roll or fold the mat a bit further and again firm up the roll. Continue until you’re able to close the roll.

Step 4: adding avocado Cut half an avocado into thin 1-2 mm sliches. Spread them out on your hand and place them on top of the roll. Step 5: cutting the roll Keep the roll covered with the cling film and cut the roll into 10 pieces. You will need a very sharp knife to do this properly. I recommend a knife like the Miyabi 7000d. Remove the cling film when you’re ready to serve ther roll.
