Rolls with capelin roe
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Buy capelin roe for sushi in white sauce—it will taste great with roe and any add-in: shrimp, salmon, or seafood. Be sure to add a cucumber or avocado to make the rolls juicier. Serve the appetizer to the table.

Step 2
Thoroughly rinse the rice several times, transfer it to a pot, and pour in water so that it is 1 centimeter above the grain. After it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to minimum, cover the pot tightly with a lid, and cook the rice for 15 minutes. When the time is up, remove the pot from the stove, place a couple of paper towels between the lid and the pot, and let it rest for another 15 minutes. Then pour the vinegar dressing with sugar and salt into the rice and mix well.
