Since you guys seemed to like my last sushi time-lapse, I made another one for you from a better angle 🤗 I also loved the sushi feedback! This time can I ask: if you could make up your own roll, what would you make?

1. May I please ask, I think my rice, homemade, is too moist. My nigiri pads are good, rice tastes good, however, once I make the roll after a few minutes, the nori loses its crispness.

2. Third salmon roll on the left had a piece of rice displaced

3. How much is it sped up? I’m super slow making it at home and curious how fast this actually is.

   Looks great!

4. My own? Simple tamago (egg), beni shoga ginger, sautéeded kampyo, shiitake, and carrot makisushi. No fish in the mix. Tare that has sake is the secret sauce that will make or break the roll. Knowing how to insert umami into the ingredients can raise the most humble sushi to next level.

5. What is your spicy mayo recipe?

6. I have *pounds* of masago and would really like to make a roll that highlights that rather than uses it just to compliment something else. I’ll probably make my own post about it in the next few days — any ideas on how to make masago the star?

   I’m thinking tempura green onion, avocado, and cucumber, plated at an angle and then domed over with masago and an almost imperceptible amount of eel sauce. Maybe a slightly orange-flavored variation, because I always expect masago to taste like citrus. I don’t make a lot of rolls so my confidence in coming up with good combinations is quite low. Masago udon, masago butter, masago gunkan, masago donburi, etc. are all pretty great though

7. If I could have my own? Oh God I miss sushi. I developed a seafood allergy years ago, so something that has texture and flavor.

   Pickled radish, avocado, cucumber, and something crispy fried on top like rice noodle? Or like a salted edimame with fried asparagus and ginger with toasted sesame seeds.

   I’m always looking for sushi I can eat so I can go out with friends. And I love rice and seaweed. And some places have vegetarian miso. I buy my own miso so I can drink that instead of coffee.

8. Your time lapse inspired me to rice up several nori sheets at a time when I host friends for soosh night next time rather than making, cutting, plating each one individually.

9. You just made me full-on rage-hungry. And I just ate breakfast. Bah!

10. Salmon roll’s rice rebellion? Must be a sushi revolution! Long live the rebellious rice!
