Preparation

Low

Wash the rice very well until the water runs clear, let it drain, boil the rice in water over medium heat, then cover it; let it boil on high heat for 2 mins, then medium heat for 5 mins, and finally, on low heat for 15 mins. Let it absorb the rest of the water. Try not to uncover the pot for better results. Remove the lid, cover with a cloth, and let it cool for 10 mins. Pour it into a baking dish and stir constantly, adding vinegar until it is cool, keep covered with plastic. Place the makisu (bamboo mat for making sushi), on top a sheet of nori covered with rice and sprinkle sesame seeds. Flip the sheet, on the edge place a thin layer of cream cheese, a strip of cucumber, one of avocado, and shrimp. Roll and press with the makisu until forming the rolls. Follow the same procedure with the other seaweeds. Moisten a knife with water, cut the rolls into 6 or 8 pieces. Serve it accompanied by soy sauce with lemon and orange juice.
