I was truly stunned to acquire many requests for normal New Years foods recipes from the readers simply due to the fact I was by no means been a enormous fan of Osechi Ryori (Traditional Japanese New Years Meal, お節料理) whereas rising up in Japan. I only have a number of favourite dishes like Sweet Rolled Omelet (Datemaki 伊達巻) and Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Candied Chestnuts (Kurikinton 栗きんとん) but I largely seem to be ahead to my mom’s Saikyo Miso O-zoni (Kyoto-style shiro miso soup for New Years 西京味噌のお雑煮).
Since Christmas or New Year’s Eve isn't proper the following yet, I decided to share those Cucumber Wrapped Sushi that may be served as appetizer in your vacation celebration or any get together. This form of sushi is referred to as Gunkan or Gunkan Maki in Japanese.

Gunkan (軍艦) meas “battleship” in Japanese, and the title comes from its oval shape. Typically, gunkan sushi are wrapped circular with nori seaweed and has toppings like salmon roe (ikura), sea urchin (uni), and broiled eel (unagi) on them. But as we speak I used thinly sliced cucumber to wrap around.
Once rice (or sushi rice) is cooked, you'll be able to quick gather the sushi proper earlier than you serve. If you don’t consume uncooked fish, you'll be able to change with smoked salmon or merely create your own!
