Salmon and Tuna are the two main fish traditionally found on Rainbow Rolls. You want 15-20 slices of each type of fish. This is not the easiest to do, so if you mess up a few pieces don't get frustrated (and don't throw them out!!) You can piece them back together and once it gets pressed into the roll you can't really tell you messed up at all. DO NOT saw back and forth or you will destroy the fish. You want to start at the base of the knife and pull it towards you finishing the slice with the tip in one passing. Take your fish and make a thin slice it by holding the knife at a 45 degree angle. I always sharpen my knives right before I cut my fish. A glass of wine (or some sake!) and good conversation helps get you through it though.įor the next part, make sure your knife is really sharp. This is a very tedious and time consuming process. Carefully lay the strings on top of each other for easy assembly later. If the piece you peeled is too big, you can just peel that piece more. Take one piece of crab and carefully peel strips off. Raw sushi has a shelf life of about 3 days max so prepare to eat it all or throw it out! Your best bet is to invite some friends over to help you make/enjoy the sushi with you! Bring on the PARTY (with style) ! Make sure to buy 'sushi grade' fish or something right off the ship and caught/cut the same day. Also, this recipe will make 8-10 rolls so unless you have a big stomach, you might want to consider sharing! Having everyone help will cut down the prep time considerably and the conversation makes it more enjoyable. I suggest inviting a few friends over and having a Sushi Party! Throwing a 'Prep Party' is a great idea if your making something rather time consuming or in bulk like sushi, or tamales. Preparation is definitely the most time consuming part of this whole 'able. Its like having 8 rolls-in-1! Who doesn't like variety?!? I sure do! Although this process is rather time consuming, these colorful rolls aren't hard to make and you get a lot (8-10 rolls) of sushi out of all your effort! Every roll makes 8 little pieces, each of which has a unique flavor combination.

But, it's marbled and layered topping of assorted fish and avocado make this roll perfectly divine. If there's nothing 'special' about this sushi roll then it's just a 'basic California Roll with some fish on top,' right? WRONG! Yes, the inside is merely a California Roll, and no, there aren't any crazy fish or sauces used. It is definitely one of my favorite rolls!! What makes this roll so special you ask? Is it what's inside the roll? Is there some exotic type of fish used? No, not anything like that actually. Rainbow Rolls are one of the most popular sushi rolls available.
