Ingredients (2-3 servings):
- Suji-Aonori (Whole Form / Powder): to taste
- Suji-Aonori (Powder): 2g
- Sumeshi (Vinegared sushi rice): 2 cups
- *Sumeshi is made with Sushizu(Seasoned Rice Vinegar Mix: Rice Vinegar, Sugar, Salt) and Rice.
- Straw-grilled bonito: about 200g
- Garlic: to taste
- Soy sauce
How to:
-
Once the Sumeshi(Vinegared sushi rice) has cooled, mix in the Suji-Aonori (Powder) to make "Aonori Vinegard Rice."
- LIghtly sear the bonito over straw and cut it into pieces that are easy to use as the core of the Maki.
- Spread 150g of the Aonori Vinegard Rice in a rectangle on plastic wrap, line up the bonito in the center, then wrap it with the plastic wrap so that the rice encloses the fish. FInally, use a bamboo sushi mat (if not available, you could use thick towel instead) over the plastic wrap to shape the roll.

- Spread Suji Aonori (Whole Form) over a fresh sheet of plastic wrap, place the roll from step 3 on top, then wrap it so the roll is coated with the Suji-Aonori. Shape it firmly once more using a sushi mat.

- Cut the roll into six equal pieces, garnish with thinly sliced raw garlic, and serve.

Tip:
- If sushi mat is not available, you could substitute it by thick towel. For rice, sticky sushi rice (Japanese rice) is recommended to be used for this recipe.
- For the finishing seasoning, soy sauce is recommended over ponzu. The richness of the soy sauce brings out the flavor of the shredded aonori even more.
- Either the whole form or powdered type of “SEA VEGETABLE: Suji-Aonori,” could be used depending on your preference. For better presentation and texture, we recommend the whole form.
