Sea Urchin Preparation

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sea Urchin

    Using a pair of scissors, carefully cut open the sea urchin and scoop out the bright orange uni with a small spoon. Be gentle to avoid breaking the delicate uni.

  2. 2

    Season the Uni

    Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the uni and lightly sprinkle sea salt to enhance the flavors. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    If not already done, cook sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly before using.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Place a spoonful of sushi rice on a nori sheet, then add a piece of seasoned uni on top. Roll gently to form a sushi roll.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately with additional lemon wedges and soy sauce, if desired.
