Spooky Sushi Rolls (Monster Maki) Recipe

Prepare the Sushi Rice:

• Rinse the KOJIMA Sushi Rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

• Cook the rice according to package instructions.

• Once cooked, allow the rice to cool slightly, then season it with sushi vinegar (optional).

Prepare the Fillings:

• Slice your choice of fillings such as cucumber, avocado, cooked shrimp, or imitation crab into thin strips.

Assemble the Sushi Rolls:

• Place one sheet of Sushi Nori on a bamboo mat, shiny side down.

• Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge.

• Arrange your fillings horizontally across the center of the rice.

• Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, pressing gently to seal the edge.

Shape the Sushi:

• To create "eye" shapes, cut the rolls into thick slices and use small nori strips to create "pupils."

• For "ghost" shapes, trim the rolls into an oval shape using a sharp knife, and add nori strips as eyes and mouths.

Decorate:

• To create eerie features, use a toothpick to dot KEWPIE Mayonnaise and SB Wasabi on the rolls.

• Sprinkle White Roasted Sesame over the rolls for added texture and flavour.

Serve:

• Arrange the Spooky Sushi Rolls on a Halloween-themed platter.

• Serve with Pickled Ginge, Sliced Pink and soy sauce for dipping.
