How to make Makis of melon with ham:
- To prepare the melon and ham makis, we must gather all the ingredients.
- Prepare the sushi rice according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you have any doubts, you can consult the sushi rice recipe.
- Tip: If you don’t have sushi rice, you can cook round rice. When it is cooked, add a mixture of white vinegar and sugar in equal parts.
- Cut the melon into sticks. In this original Spanish recipe, melon will replace fish in our makis.
- On a mat or towel we place plastic wrap and the serrano ham.
- Tip: In my case, since I don’t have a mat to roll sushi, I have used a clean towel under the plastic wrap.
- To continue with our melon and ham makis, we put a layer of rice on the ham without completely covering the ends. The ham replaces the nori seaweed, typical in Japanese makis.
- Place the melon sticks at one end of the rice layer.
- Roll up the melon and ham makis with a mat or towel. It is important to press slightly while you roll the makis.
- Finally, we cut the melon and ham makis with the help of a sharp knife and serve.
