The steps for cooking California rolls with smoked eel in masago caviar

If you are looking for a recipe for California sushi in masago caviar with eel, then now we will tell you all the secrets of cooking this dish. So, you need to do the following:

1. Cut off half of a sheet of seaweed and lay it on a bamboo mat with the rough side up.
2. Spread the rice on the seaweed in a dense, even layer, leaving only the upper edge free (1.5 cm is enough).
3. Now we will turn the workpiece so that the rice is on the bottom, and the free edge of the seaweed is closer to us. In the center along the entire width, add fish and vegetables cut into strips and cover everything with mayonnaise.
4. Roll the mat into a roll, carefully holding the filling with your index fingers.
5. Roll the California roll in masago and cut it into eight equal parts with a sharp knife pre-wetted with water.
6. We recommend serving the finished rolls with unagi soy sauce, which will best emphasize the taste of smoked eel, ginger petals and wasabi.
