Maki rolls have conquered gourmets all over the world, and Warsaw is no exception. These mouth-watering and visually appealing dishes have become an integral part of the menus of many restaurants and delivery services. But what do you really know about these little masterpieces of Japanese cuisine? Have you ever wondered where sushi maki came from, how they are prepared, and why they have become so popular? Why is Asian cuisine so delicious? If not, then get ready for a fascinating journey into the history and culture of sushi maki.

Shall we dive into history?

The history of sushi begins long before it appeared in its modern form. Imagine, the first sushi was cooked back in the 4th-5th century BC in Southeast Asia. Where the fish was not fresh, but canned. This practice is known as ‘narezushi’. How good that chefs invented and cooked the first author’s sushi a little later, which we can see now on our plates.

Have you ever wondered why maki rolls are called that way? The term ‘maki’ comes from the Japanese word ‘maku’, which means ‘to roll’. Maki sushi consists of rice and filling (fish, vegetables, seafood) wrapped in nori sheets. This rolling technique has become so popular that many varieties of sushi maki have emerged, including hosomaki (thin rolls), futomaki (thick rolls), and uramaki (rolls rolled the other way round, with the rice facing out).

Is it difficult to make maki rolls?

We’ve already learnt about the history and origin of maki rolls, so now we can move on to the most interesting and delicious part – the cooking stages. Making maki rolls is an art that requires skill and patience. So let’s start from the very beginning:

• Sushi rice is thoroughly washed, cooked and seasoned with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar and salt.
• The main components of maki rolls are fresh fish (tuna, salmon), vegetables (cucumber, avocado), and other ingredients. Cut it all into thin strips.
• A sheet of nori is placed on a bamboo mat, on which a layer of rice is evenly distributed. The filling is placed on top of the rice, and then everything is rolled into a tight roll using the mat.
• The finished roll is cut into equal pieces. And that’s it!

It doesn’t look so difficult, does it? But it requires skill and ability, as well as a lot of free time. How fortunate that Roll Club’s delivery service employs qualified sushi chefs who will prepare an incredibly delicious exclusive maki roll in a matter of minutes.
