Wasabi

Step 1

Form 1 to 2 tbsp. sushi rice into a small ball. (See "How to Make Sushi Rice.")
Step 2

Wrap a wide strip of nori (seaweed) around the ball of rice. The nori should extend a bit above the rice to form a bowl.
Step 3

Dab a bit of wasabi on the rice.
Step 4

Scoop about 1 to 2 tsp. tobiko onto the wasabi.
Step 5

Crack one raw quail egg over the tobiko. Be sure egg yolk is intact and on top.
Step 6

Serve pieces in pairs.

Tips & Warnings

Be sure quail egg is fresh. Check with vendors.
Raw eggs may carry salmonella bacteria, which can cause food poisoning. Proper storage of the eggs decreases the risk, but pregnant women, older people and small children may want to avoid raw egg.
