Isobe Zukuri (Sashimi Wrapped in Laver)

Directions

IN ADVANCE Cut fish into slices ½ inch thick and 6-7” long (as lonf as a sheet of nori).

TO ASSEMBLE AND SERVE: Pass the nori, one sheet at a time, over a flame to intensify it’s flavor and color.

Lay the nori flat on a hard surface (the japanese use a bamboo mat to facilitate rolling) with the wide side of the mat facing towards you.

Place a long slice of fish along the length of the nori and roll the nori into a long, thick, tight cylinder.

Cut crosswise into 1½ inch slices with a sharp knife.

Roll and cut the remaining fish and nori in the same way.
