Today, I will introduce you to a great homemade sushi roll, the “Egg and Vegetable Sushi Roll.” For filling I used egg, spinach, carrot and Shiitake mushrooms. I seasoned the filling deliciously so you don’t need to put it in soy sauce when you eat.
In the PDF recipe, I explain with easy instructions how to make sushi rolls with a great shape and I provide you with detailed pictures (and some special tips) so you can do it even if this is your first time making a sushi roll.
On YouTube recipe video, you can see how I actually do.
The recipe is
Cook rice and make sushi rice
Cook fillings
Roll the ingredients with the sushi rice and dried seaweed.
You may think making sushi is too hard until you learn the tricks to doing it well. It is definitely worth it to learn. However, if you want you can skip the rice cooking process if you can get prepared steamed rice. And also you can pick easy ingredients for sushi fillings such as avocado, cucumber, smoked salmon, Sashimi and so on. This egg and vegetables filling recipe is actually what I grew up with. I think it is the best.
First, you wash dried rice like you wash vegetables before you cook it to get rid of dust and to polish the rice. Polishing rice makes it digest smoothly when we eat it. And also washing rice brings us great taste and great final presentation. Lately, some people say we don’t need to wash rice as hard as we used to because the technology of rice polish is getting better. In addition, if you use no-wash rice “Musen-Mai”, you don’t need to wash. You can also use brown rice and multigrain rice instead of white rice if you want.
Lately, I made “Thin-Fried-Egg Roll Sushi” instead of wrapping with dried seaweed. This is also delicious!!
For making any sushi roll, you should get Makisu which is a bamboo mat to roll sushi. You can get Japanese Makisu: Bamboo Sushi Mat Makisu from Amazon.

Oh…. that’s too bad. But you can wrap the sushi rice and fillings with thin fried egg instead of seaweed. It is also very good 🙂

Thanks for your comment. Yes, it is a little bit difficult to get perfect shape. The one of tips is the amount of rice and fillings. But the most important thing is the taste! So don’t worry too much 🙂

Love this! Thank you for sharing! I am definitely going to give your recipe a try!!! I have not made sushi before, but your ease and confidence have given me the courage to take the leap!!! I would also love to know more about ‘polishing’ the rice–is this the washing/soaking step? Thank you again for sharing!

Thanks for your lovely comment!
I know you don’t understand polishing part. That’s my bad. I can’t find exact term of that and can’t explain well.
Washing- add water, whisk lightly, drain and rinse.
Polishing- rub surface of rice vigorously so that the rice is scrubbed to get rid of dirt of the surface. We can’t rub one by one so we just agitate with fingers without water. This makes rice bumping into one another which scrub all rice easily.
As I wrote in the post, lately the technology of rice polish before they come to a market, is really getting better. That means we don’t need to take time for polishing rice at home. You can just wash and rinse it. I prefer to polish even now because I think the rice looks shiny when I cook and the taste and texture is better in my opinion.
I hope my explanation helps you.
Thank you again. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions 🙂

Wonderful! That is what I thought polishing meant. I do the same thing with our wild rice that we have here. I wash/rinse it several times, while agitating. Thank you for explaining the process to me, I enjoyed your post and look forward to gathering ingredients to make your beautiful sushi rolls on our little homestead!

A note for all those who will want to try this recipe: the amounts you give to season the rice vinegar are just perfect — I was afraid it might be too salty at first, but no, not at all. I have used your recipe several times already, never disappointed. Thank you for all the tips!
