Aburi Oshi and Roll Ingredients
Equipment
Prepare Sushi Rice
1. Cook the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Season the Rice
Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved, then gently fold this mixture into the warm rice. Allow to cool.
Prepare Aburi Sushi
1. Assemble the Roll
Place a nori sheet on a sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Arrange slices of avocado and cucumber in the center, then add a layer of the fresh fish. Roll tightly using the mat.
2. Cut the Roll
Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
3. Aburi (Torching)
Using a blow torch, briefly sear the top of the assembled sushi rolls and nigiri pieces for a few seconds until they show a slight char.
Serve
1. Plating
Arrange the Aburi Oshi, rolls, and nigiri on a serving plate. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
