Special Shrimp Gunkanmaki - Battleship Sushi Roll image

A battleship shaped version of nigiri sushi has a ribbon of nori seaweed wrapped vertically around the rice and toppings. Inspired by Sushi: Easy Recipes for Making Sushi at Home by Emi Kazuko, Fiona Smith and Elsa Petersen-Schepelern and a special scallop sushi I had in a Calgary restaurant, long since closed. "Special" usually refers to the use of mayonnaise in the filling.

Time 25m

Yield 12 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

125 g shrimp (cooked, salad style)
2 tablespoons kiwi fruits, diced
2 -3 tablespoons mayonnaise (preferably Japanese)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 1/2 sheets nori, seaweed
2 cups cooked rice, seasoned with sushi vinegar seasoning (see #315511 Easy Sushi Rice)
1/4 cup rice vinegar

Steps:

  • Mix the salad shrimp, kiwi fruit, mayonnaise and ginger in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Cut each sheet of nori into 1" wide ribbons, for a total of 12 ribbons.
  • Mix 1 cup of water with the rice vinegar in a small bowl and set aside to use as hand vinegar, to rinse your hands and keep the rice from sticking to them.
  • Dip your hands in the hand vinegar and take 1-2 tablespoons of the cooked rice in one hand. Mold it into a rectangular mound and 2 x 3/4 x 1 1/4" high. Wrap a nori ribbon around it, overlapping about 3/4" at the end. Glue it together with a grain of vinegared rice. Put a heaping teaspoon of the shrimp salad mixture on top. Repeat to make 12 pieces.
  • Serve with pickled ginger, soy sauce and wasabi.

These sushi rolls were a waste of time. They were so difficult to make and they didn't even taste good.

I wouldn't recommend these sushi rolls. They were not very flavorful and the rice was too sticky.

I thought these sushi rolls were just okay. The shrimp was a bit overcooked and the avocado was too mushy.

These sushi rolls were a bit too spicy for me, but they were still really good.

I'm not a huge fan of sushi, but these rolls were amazing. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the avocado and cucumber were fresh and crisp.
