Maki Sushi Recipe

Constance Hotels & Resorts is renowned for providing exceptional culinary experiences to its guests, and one of the standout dishes is delicious Maki. 

The Maki served at Constance Hotels & Resorts is particularly noteworthy of all the recipes, due to its freshness, quality ingredients, and unique flavour combinations. Guests who have had the pleasure of tasting it at Constance Belle Mare Plage often rave about its deliciousness and want to recreate it at home.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Nori sheets
  • Sashimi-grade fish (such as tuna or salmon), sliced into thin strips
  • Avocado, sliced
  • Cucumber, sliced into thin strips
  • Soy sauce, for dipping
  • Wasabi, for serving

Making the Sushi Rice

  1. Rinse the rice. An essential first step! Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and give it a good long rinse with cold water.
  2. Secondly, begin to cook the rice. Cook the rice in water until it is tender. 
  3. While the rice is cooking, heat the vinegar, sugar and salt and whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
  4. Once cooked, transfer the rice immediately to a large mixing bowl and drizzle it evenly with the sushi vinegar. Then use the spatula to very gently fold the rice — slicing it at a 45-degree angle.
  5. Cover the mixing bowl with a damp towel so that it is touching the surface of the rice, which will help prevent the rice from drying out. Let the rice cool on the counter until it nearly reaches room temperature. 
  6. Serve. Use the rice immediately in a recipe, or transfer it to an airtight food storage 

Constructing the Maki 

  1. Make your sushi rice ideally at least an hour or two in advance so that it has time to cool to room temperature before assembling your rolls. Then go ahead and prep all of your other ingredients so that you can have a nice assembly line ready to go for your rolls.
  2. Now it is time to begin your assembly! The first step will be to press the rice onto your sheet of nori in an even layer, leaving a 1-inch empty border of nori at the top.
  3. Next, layer on your fillings horizontally on the rice, side by side, as evenly as possible. 
  4. Roll up the sushi. Lift up the bottom edge of the sushi mat and carefully fold it over the fillings until they are enclosed in a roll, yet still leaving the top 1-inch of the empty nori exposed. 
  5. Use the sushi mat to squeeze the roll in as tightly as possible.  Dip your fingers in the water bowl once more and use them to wet the remaining 1-inch of nori. Then use the sushi mat to finish rolling up the roll until it is completely enclosed, giving it a final squeeze or two once it has been rolled up to be sure that everything is packed in there tightly. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. 
  6. Cut the sushi. Using a very sharp knife, cut each sushi roll into 8 equal(ish)-sized pieces on a cutting board. Transfer them to your serving plate. 
  7. Drizzle and garnish. Sprinkle the sushi with extra toasted sesame seeds and/or garnish with smoked fish 
  8. Serve immediately, along with pickled ginger, wasabi paste, and soy sauce for dipping. And enjoy!
