- .p class=""ingredient-item-name is-strikethrough-active"">1 Kohlrabi (approx. 800 g)
1 TL Salt
100 g Salmon fillet (sushi quality)
1/2 Cucumber
1 ripe avocado
6-7 Nori-Blätter
Wasabi
Preparation
- Peel the kohlrabi and cut into very fine cubes. First cut the kohlrabi into very thin slices and then dice them. Mix well with 1 teaspoon of vinegar and salt and leave to marinate.
- In the meantime, rinse the salmon under cold water, pat dry and cut into four, approx.
- Peel the avocado, remove the stone and also cut into 8 cm pieces. Halve the cucumber and cut into 8 cm strips.
- Cut the nori leaves in half lengthwise and place one half on the sushi mat with the shiny side facing down. (A tea towel can be used as an alternative to a sushi mat.) Spread some of the marinated kohlrabi without the liquid on the nori sheet, leaving a border of approx. 2 cm free at the top. Turn the kohlrabi slightly and place a piece of salmon on top, then brush with wasabi. Moisten the free edge of the nori sheet with a little water.
- At the end, lift the mat and shape the nori sheet around the filling, pressing it down firmly. Press the filling down a little on the open sides and reshape. Dip a very sharp knife in water and cut the roll into equal pieces.
- Do the same with the remaining ingredients. Arrange the sushi on a platter and serve with ginger and wasabi.
Notes
- Tip: The filling can be varied. E.g. omelette, cut into strips, together with sautéed shiitake mushrooms and some toasted sesame seeds.
Artgerechte Food Facts
Kohlrabi belongs to the cabbage family like broccoli and Brussels sprouts and has a higher vitamin C content than lemon, for example. It is also rich in magnesium and secondary plant substances.
Vinegar has a probiotic effect. However, care must be taken to ensure good quality - vinegar should not have been heated, otherwise no probiotic effect will be achieved.Salmon is, like other fish species, an important and easily digestible source of protein for us humans. It also contains the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are so important for us, as well as a good amount of selenium, iodine and vitamin D.
Cucumbers have antibacterial, antioxidant and antidiabetic properties. Pressing the cucumber until it breaks intensifies the taste and has a cooling effect in summer.
Avocado provides minerals and unsaturated fats and acids. Walnuts, for example, are a local food alternative for unsaturated fats and acids.
Nori is a red algae that is particularly well known for the preparation of sushi. Algae can break down toxins in our body and contain high amounts of vitamins, trace elements and minerals in good bioavailability. Nori is rich in proteins and minerals (calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron), vitamin A, vitamin B and contains 200 µg iodine per 10 g of dried nori.
Ginger is rich in secondary plant substances that actively support our immune system. It has an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, metabolism-regulating and anti-diabetic effect. It is particularly good for treating digestive complaints, pain and colds. In addition, its intense flavor makes you feel full sooner.
Wasabi (Japanese horseradish) contains mustard;(pungent substances that can cause tears in the eyes when horseradish is crushed), which have a digestive, antiviral and antibacterial effect.
