Seaweed and Masago Gunkanmaki
This is a simple and popular gunkanmaki in Japan. The contents are simple, nori, sushi rice, wasabi, seaweed salad and masago (sometimes tobiko is used instead of masago).
Cut strips of nori with a sushi knife.
Form your base made from sushi rice.
Wrap nori around the sushi rice.
Wet the end of the nori so that it will seal.
Press the roll into the proper shape after sealing the nori. The roll tends to deform a bit while attaching the nori.
Add seaweed salad. Seaweed salad is available in many asian grocery stores. Place some wasabi on the rice first if you’d like.
In this example we are using masago (capelin fish roe) but many times it is substituted with tobiko (flying fish roe).
These can be made in a short period of time and many find this form of sushi to be quite impressive even though it is one of the simplest to make.
This is a simple yet very appealing form of gunkanmaki. Under the seaweed you can season with some wasabi, sriracha, unagi sauce, or any other flavoring you prefer to give this more flavor or heat.
