Sushi Recipe

Sushi: This iconic Japanese dish, consisting of vinegared rice paired with various ingredients such as raw fish, vegetables, and sometimes tropical fruits, is a global favorite. Sushi comes in many forms, including nigiri, sashimi, maki, and temaki. The following is the halal Sushi Recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sushi rice
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon salt
• Nori sheets (seaweed)
• Halal-certified cooked seafood (e.g., shrimp, crab, smoked salmon)
• Cucumber, avocado, and other vegetables
• Soy sauce (ensure halal certification)
• Pickled ginger
• Wasabi (optional)

Instructions:

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice with 2 cups of water.
2. While the rice cooks, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.
3. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a wooden or plastic container and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
4. Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
5. Arrange the halal seafood and vegetables in a line across the center of the rice.
6. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat, then slice into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife.
7. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
