Shrimp Rolls
Description
The appetizer is prepared quickly and easily. Today in Russia, rolls are wildly popular. However, if you want to make this wonderful Eastern dish yourself, it is not difficult at all. Nowadays there are many specialized stores where you can buy seaweed, ginger, wasabi paste, and soy sauce. By the way, large supermarkets also have entire sections with Eastern cuisine products. Making shrimp rolls is a very engaging process that can easily become entertainment for a small group. Good luck. Can be served warm or chilled.

Cook the rice. First, rinse it thoroughly under running water, then transfer it to a saucepan and add 350 ml of water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil (uncovered). Then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover with a lid, and cook for another 10–15 minutes until all the water has evaporated. Finally, turn off the heat completely and let the rice rest a little under the lid.

Carefully roll the sheet into a roll. At the seam, run a finger moistened with water (so it sticks together better). Place the roll seam-side down and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
