Do you want to make sushi ? Great ! In this game you will learn how to do it .
First of all , wash the ____________________ well to remove the starch .
Do this over and over until the ____________________ is clear .
Then rinse it off and let it sit for about ____________________ .
Put the same amount of water and rice in a pot , cover it and turn the heat to maximum until it ____________________ .
Then lower the heat to a ____________________ , let it cook for about 10 minutes , turn off the heat and let it rest for another 10 minutes .
Attention ! Throughout this process , it is important that you keep the pot ____________________ at all times .
While the rice rests , put 2 tablespoons of ____________________ , one of sugar and a half of salt in a cup , and ____________________ until everything dissolves .
This ____________________ you just made is called sushi - zu .
Pour the rice onto a tray or ____________________ . Put the sushi - zu on top of the rice , and stir everything slowly with a spoon , avoiding breaking the rice .
At the same time , fan the rice a bit until it is ____________________ ____________________ .
Now we can start working with the rice !
If you want to make a nigiri , make a small ____________________ with the rice .
We will have a ____________________ of water with vinegar next to us to moisten our hands each time before touching the rice , because it is very ____________________ .
Once the mound is done , place a slice of raw fish on top ( ____________________ , tuna . . . ) , and if you want a strip of avocado , cucumber , carrot or whatever comes to mind , and . . . that's it !
To make maki ( rolls with seaweed on the outside ) , first spread out a special wooden sushi ____________________ and ____________________ it with cling film .
Place a sheet of ____________________ on top , with the shiny part facing down and with the lines in the same direction as the sticks of the mat .
Always with ____________________ hands , spread a thin layer of rice on the sheet . Leave a centimeter without rice on one of the long sides , to be able to ____________________ the cylinder after filling it , wetting that centimeter and joining it with the rest of the seaweed .
To make ____________________ ( the rolls that have nori seaweed inside ) , you don't have to leave a centimeter on the long side , and you do have to turn the sheet over once you have spread the rice .
Once you get to this point , fill the maki or uramaki with whatever you decide to put on it , in long , ____________________ pieces .
If you put cucumber , crab stick , mayonnaise and ____________________ , you will have a ____________________ .
Roll it all carefully with the mat , making a ____________________ , and finally cut it into slices with a wet and very ____________________ knife .
In the case of uramaki , before slicing you can put things on top , such as ____________________ or raw fish .
Now all you have to do is present it on a plate in a ____________________ and appetizing way .
