We prepare the rolls "inside out" Uromaki - it's "sushi inside out". That is, the shell for them is not nori, but Fig. Nori is also used, but serves as a kind of armature for giving and preserving the form. Such rolls, unlike traditional Japanese poppies, are more popular in America. And the names of most of them - California, Philadelphia, Alaska - say exactly that. The most original look is Uramaki, consisting of a large number of ingredients and decorated with tobiko. This recipe for umaraki with eel also involves using along with the obligatory rice and nori some more ingredients - cucumber, cheese, avocado, smoked eel and red tobiko. Caviar of flying fish (tobiko) is a very special delicacy used only in Japanese cuisine. The natural color of the caviar is red, but on sale it is often found orange, green and even black. This is achieved by adding to it in the preparation of various natural dyes: ginger, wasabi, squid ink. For our umaraki with eel, red tobiko is perfect, although you can take any other. And if you cook a lot of rolls for a festive table, then colorful, so that your table looks bright and unusual.
