【謹賀新年】正月から鰻を食べて新年を祝う！「鰻ちらし寿司」

unagi (grilled eel)

🥗Healthier: grilled tofu

💰Cheaper: cooked chicken

Grilled tofu is a vegetarian option, while cooked chicken offers a more affordable protein alternative.

Prepare sushi rice by rinsing it under cold water until water runs clear.

Cook sushi rice in a rice cooker with water according to manufacturer's instructions.

Once cooked, transfer rice to a large bowl and season with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, mixing gently.

Allow rice to cool to room temperature while preparing other ingredients.

Cut unagi into bite-sized pieces if not pre-sliced.

Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.

Place pieces of unagi along the center of the rice layer.

Add a thin line of wasabi on top of the unagi if desired.

Roll the sushi tightly using the mat, pressing gently to form a cylinder.

Seal the edge of the nori with a little water to hold it closed.

Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp, wet knife.

Serve sushi with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and sesame seeds on the side.
