This delicious, fun-to-eat sushi combines the salty pops of tobiko (flying fish roe) with smooth, buttery egg yolk. Put the whole piece in your mouth and break the yolk against the roof of your mouth to get the full experience.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Form 1 to 2 tbsp. sushi rice into a small ball. (See "How to Make Sushi Rice.")
Step2
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.
Step3
Dab a bit of wasabi on the rice.
Step4
Scoop about 1 to 2 tsp. tobiko onto the wasabi.
Step5
Crack one raw quail egg over the tobiko. Be sure egg yolk is intact and on top.
Step6
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.
