Category: Maki Recipes

Maki sushi is probably the most well known type of sushi in the U.S. It consists of a layer of nori surrounding a layer of rice surrounding the fillings in the middle, all rolled into a cylinder and then cut into several smaller slices. The most well known type of maki sushi is the California Roll.

This is another one of the tuna rolls that we made oh, about three months ago. Behind? Who, me? Okay, fine, you win. I am waaaaaay behind in my sushi posts, and I’m not done yet! We still have a bunch more tuna rolls left to post! I know what you’re thinking, “Maybe you should

Maguro Karakuchi Spicy Tuna

<p>Amazing. Just... amazing. That's the only way I know how to describe this roll (okay, so not the <em>only</em> way, but definitely one of the best ways!) This has been added to my list of my favorite sushi rolls, so it's gotta be good, right? The Srirachia sauce adds a pleasant kick, but it's mellowed out by the mayonnaise so it's perfect for those of us who don't like super

Tuna Roll

<p>Finally, finally, FINALLY I have gotten around to using raw fish in my sushi! I know, I know, it's been over a year, but can you believe I used to not eat raw fish? Yeah I know blasphemy, right? (It's not my fault... I didn't grow up eating fish because my mom is allergic!) Well don't worry, I have seen the light! Hehe. I now <em>love</em> sushi that uses

Super California Roll

You would think that putting unagi on top of a California Roll really isn’t anything too special. I mean come on, it’s just your typical California Roll with some eel on top. You would think. You would be wrong. This roll is amazing! We first tried it at Honda-Ya when we went there for Son’s

rolls royce roll

Rolls Royce Roll

This is the last of the rolls that we made from Mobo Sushi. (There may be more later, but this is the last of them for now. 😉 ) We thought this one was pretty good. A nice gari flavor, but don’t use too much or it will overwhelm the sushi! I know there are

Mobo calls it… “Guido” Maki

<p>This is, yet again, another roll from <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/10/04/mobo-sushi/">Mobo Sushi</a>. This is a vegetarian roll, although not vegan because of the cream cheese. On my own, I would have never thought to put nuts or raw garlic in a sushi roll... but turns out it works pretty well! Son liked this roll a lot. I think his parents use basil a lot in their cooking, and he has a lot

Snoball Maki

<p>This is another roll from <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/10/04/mobo-sushi/">Mobo Sushi</a>. We weren't able to try this while we were there, but we grabbed a take-out copy of the menu and decided to make this at home. This was an interesting roll. Use just a little bit of coconut, or it will overwhelm the roll. Also, Son says it needed to be a little saltier (but of course, he pours salt on everything,

flying tiger roll

Flying Tiger

<p>This is one of the rolls that I tried at <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/10/04/mobo-sushi/">Mobo Sushi</a>. Even though I didn't particularly like it when I ate the Flying Tiger at Mobo Sushi, it sounded like it should have been really good! So I decided to make it at home. </p>

spicy tempura roll

Spicy Tempura Roll

<p>I just love how the red pepper in the mayonnaise gives a little kick to the taste of the sushi. There really isn't anything to not like about this, if you like spicy tastes. If you don't, then just adjust the amount of red pepper powder to however you like it.</p>
