Ingredients

  • 1000 grams White rice
  • 100 ml Sushi vinegar
  • 3 medium Carrot
  • 100 grams Shiitake mushrooms
  • 80 grams Green beans
  • 5 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Salt for the carrots
  • 2 tbsp Sugar for the shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce for the shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 Water

Method

  • Cook the rice on the sushi setting.
  • Make an egg crepe and slice it thinly to make kinshi tamago (shredded egg).
  • Cut the carrot into short matchsticks.
  • Put in a frying pan with the salt and a little water, cover with a lid, and steam.
  • Break the shiitake mushrooms up into small pieces.
  • Put into a pot with the sugar, soy sauce, and a little water.
  • Mix it all up and boil until there's no more liquid, taking care not to let it burn.
  • Parboil the green beans in salt water to retain the color.
  • First, cut some small pieces for topping the sushi balls, then cut the remaining amount into small pieces to mix into the sushi rice.
  • When the rice is done cooking, mix up the sushi rice, then mix in the carrots and shiitake mushrooms.
  • Sprinkle on the green beans and mix into the rice.
  • To make the balls, put a pinch of the kinshi tamago on some plastic wrap, then put a large bite-sized amount of sushi rice on top, and shape into a ball.
  • Garnish with green bean slices.
