Learn to make beautiful Flower Futomaki Sushi Rolls for spring and summer gatherings. These colourful creations are as fun to eat as they are to look at! Experiment with different vegetable fillings to create your own unique variations and impress your friends and family with your sushi-making skills.
Literally meaning fat sushi, futomaki are thicker and larger than traditional maki rolls, making them a special treat that’s enjoyed around Japanese holidays and celebrations. These large rolls can be filled with a mix of raw and cooked ingredients including fish, avocado, egg, pickled radish and cucumber. The choice of ingredients is completely up to you and you can get creative with the presentation too, incorporating a variety of patterned fillings such as kanpyo (dried scallop), koyadofu (freeze-dried tofu) or sakura denbu (pink-tinted dried cod flakes).여자창업아이템
These eye-catching creations aren’t just delicious, they’re also incredibly satisfying. The process of designing a futomaki is considered carefully and the best itamae (sushi chefs) will ensure that all the ingredients complement each other, balance in flavour and look appealing when sliced into individual portions. Unlike more familiar sushi varieties such as chirashi-zushi (rice bowls topped with a combination of fish and vegetables) or nigiri-zushi (finger-shaped slices of raw seafood), futomaki are more aesthetically focused, often depicting themes such as nature and flora.후토루
Although these brightly coloured creations are perfect for enjoying as a meal, they’re just as at home in a homemade bento box alongside other Japanese-inspired foods such as edamame, sunomono salad and fresh fruit. They’re especially popular on the day before the first day of spring (known as Setsubun) when they’re eaten while facing a specific direction for good luck. They can also be rolled up tightly and wrapped in parchment paper or plastic wrap for a quick and easy lunch on-the-go. Futomaki are at their most delicious when enjoyed on the same day they’re made. However, they will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.
