How to make Vegetarian Sushi with Dried Tomatoes:
To start preparing the sushi rice, we must wash it with plenty of water. Wash the rice until the water runs clear, then drain into a saucepan with a piece of Kombi seaweed, if you have it.
Heat the saucepan over high heat until it begins to boil, then remove the seaweed, cover the pot and continue cooking over low heat for 10 minutes. After this time, remove from the heat and let the sushi rice rest for about 15 minutes.
Trick: It is very important that you uncover the rice until the 15 minutes of rest outside the heat have passed.
To finish with the sushi rice, place everything in a large bowl and add the vinegar. Stir using a wooden spoon, with quick but delicate movements, trying not to break the rice grains.
To make the pressing you will need a square plating mold as seen in the photograph and a couple of cardboards of the same size as the mold that we will use to press. Place the mold on a flat surface and cover it with transparent paper that overhangs the sides.
Tip: If this process seems too complicated to you, you can also press the sushi in a traditional way, making a roll with the ingredients in the center, as if it were a California sushi.
Add the rice and fill the mold about halfway. Use the transparent paper that was left over from the sides to cover the rice and press it with the cardboard molds. This will make the surface even and more uniform.
Remove the excess from the transparent paper, add a drizzle of oil and place the filling ingredients cut into thin strips. Place the mozzarella first, then the basil leaves and lastly the peppers and tomato.
To finish, cover everything again with plastic wrap and press with the cardboard molds. She places some weight on top and lets the sushi rest in the fridge for half an hour so that it compacts well.
