About This Recipe
Futomaki is a dinner recipe with broad, cross-cultural appeal rather than roots in a single national cuisine. Dishes like this travel easily between kitchens and regions, picking up local ingredients and techniques along the way, which is why you will find so many variations built around sushi rice, rice vinegar, and granulated sugar.
Like most enduring dinner recipes, this one is less about a rigid formula and more about balance. The version on this page is written for 12 servings and lands at roughly 40 calories each, so you can see exactly how it fits your day before you start cooking.
Plan for about 60 minutes from start to finish. The steps below keep the method approachable for a home cook while staying close to the flavors that make Futomaki worth coming back to.
Ingredients
Instructions
Wash the rice until the water runs clear.
Place the same amount of rice as water in a pot over high heat and cover.
Once boiling, lower the heat to the minimum and let it cook for 10 minutes. Turn off and let stand for 15 minutes covered.
Meanwhile, make the sushi-zu. Mix the rice vinegar, sugar and salt. Stir until completely mixed.
Pour the rice in a tray and add the sushi-zu. Stir with a spatula carefully and fan to cool it without breaking the grains.
Place the spinach in boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove, drain and set aside.
Place the rice on the seaweed and leave about 2 fingers of seaweed without rice. Add the remaining ingredients and roll up.
Cut into 12 pieces and serve.
