Ingredients:

• arborio rice (200g)
• sushi rice (150g)
• dried shiitake mushrooms (50g)
• prosciutto, thinly sliced (100g)
• miso paste (50g)
• parmesan cheese, grated (50g)
• seaweed sheets (5 sheets)
• toasted sesame seeds (1 tbsp)
• salt (to taste)
• water (500ml)

Kitchen Tools:

• rice cooker/li>
• fine mesh strainer
• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• saucepan

Start by soaking the dried shiitake mushrooms in hot water for about 20 minutes until they are rehydrated. In a saucepan, combine the arborio rice and sushi rice with the water and a pinch of salt. Cook the rice in a rice cooker until it is fluffy and cooked through.

While the rice is cooking, slice the rehydrated shiitake mushrooms and prosciutto into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, mix the miso paste with a splash of water to create a paste. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and fold in the miso paste, sliced mushrooms, prosciutto, and grated parmesan cheese.

Lay a seaweed sheet on a clean surface and spoon a generous amount of the rice mixture onto the bottom third of the sheet. Roll the seaweed sheet tightly to form a sushi roll. Repeat with the remaining seaweed sheets and rice mixture.

Once all the rolls are assembled, slice them into bite-sized pieces and garnish with toasted sesame seeds. Serve the Italian-Japanese fusion sushi rolls with soy sauce or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a unique flavor experience.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with 4 servings at 200g each. Each serving is around 350 calories.

One tip to make this dish even more delicious is to lightly toast the seaweed sheets before rolling the sushi to enhance their flavor.

I hope you give this fusion recipe a try and enjoy the delicious and unexpected combination of flavors. Feel free to get creative and make this dish your own by adding your favorite ingredients or toppings. Happy cooking!
