Futomaki sushi


I remember the time when I was in the philippines where I lived together in the same house with a Japanesse girl. She was good in cooking. One is the futomaki!
Ingredients:
3 cups rice
3 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup rice vinegar
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cucumber, sliced into 1/2 cm strips
2 eggs
1 tbsp soya sauce
2 tsp sugar
1 carrot, sliced into 1/2 cm strips
1 fresh fish fillets (salmon, tuna or any other you like) also smoked salmon works or little prawns, surimi (edible paste made from processed meat or seafood)
4 sheets of nori (dried seaweed)
sushi mat for rolling

Direction:
Dissolve rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a sauce pan over low heat.
Cool the vinegar mixture.
Steam rice and cool in a large non metalic bowl separating the grains with a rice paddle.
Sprinkle the vinegar mixture over the rice and fold the rice the rice paddle quickly.
Beat eggs and sugar in a small bowl. Add soya sauce.
Cook rolled omelet and cool. Cut it into long strips.
Put a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat.
Spread 1 cup of sushi rice on top of the nori sheet.
Place the cuccumber, carrot, egg and fishcake lengthwise on the rice. Roll up the bamboo mat, pressing forward to shape the sushi into a cylinder.
Press the bamboo mat firmly and remove it from the sushi.
Cut the rolled sushi into bite-size pieces.
