1. The Market Hall Mercat de l’Olivar in Palma de Mallorca

The market hall is definitely worth a visit! In the brightest colours, the Spanish market stalls offer Mediterranean fruit, vegetables, meat, ham and in particular a huge selection of fish and seafood from the Mediterranean. I always have my camera with me on such tours in order to photograph this flair, this abundance and this huge offer. Address: Mercat de l’Olivar, Plaça de l’Olivar, s/n, 07002 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain

Sushi creation by star chef thomas wilden — Sensational sushi creations are available from yosushi chef Thomas Wilden.

Sensational sushi creations can be found at yosushi Chef Thomas Wilden. I can tell you: All these sushi creations by Thomas taste indescribably delicious! Not only that I tried many sushi right away, but even more: Thomas showed step by step how to prepare tuna strawberry Maki and I was able to capture everything with the camera.

I find the tuna sushi with strawberries particularly fantastic. Yosushi owner Thomas Wilden used to cook at the Richmond Hotel in Geneva at two Michelin-star level. He was the first to open his sushi stand here in the market hall in Palma and offers locals and tourists extraordinary creations such as “Flamed Nigiri Sushi”. Here the fish is lightly cooked on the rice ball and gets an extraordinary smoked taste.

Instruction

Wash the rice up to seven times until the water is clear. Mix the wet rice with the water in a pot or in a rice cooker, bring to the boil and let it swell with a lid at low temperature. Please pay attention to the quantities of the rice cooker, then the rice cooking will be done by itself. Heat rice vinegar and do not boil, dissolve salt and sugar in it. I tend to use brown sugar because I like the taste very much. Mix the cooked rice in a bowl with the rice marinade carefully and evenly and cover the prepared rice with a damp kitchen towel.

Nori sheet on a bamboo mat — nori sheet on babus mat, first step of preparation.

Place the nori leaf on the bamboo mat.

Rice on nori sheet — Spread the rice appealingly and evenly on the nori sheet.

Place the rice on the nori leaf evenly to slightly above the edge. Then turn the nori leaf over.

Turn the nori sheet over with rice — Now the nori sheet is turned over and coated with ginger mayonnaise.

Gari, this is the typical sweet and sour pickled ginger, cut into small pieces and mix with the remaining ingredients. Spread the mayonnaise sauce horizontally on the middle of the nori leaf.

Cut tuna — Cut the tuna piece from the fillet

Cut an elongated strip of tuna from the whole fillet.

Tuna in oblong strips — Cut the raw tuna fillet into long strips.

Cut tuna strips to a size of 1x1cm.

Put on the tuna — Place the tuna strips on the ginger mayonnaise.

Put the tuna on the mayonnaise sauce.

Add strawberries — Place appropriately and finely chopped strawberries with the tuna.

Strawberries to clean and small, even pieces along the tuna strip place.

Roll sushi — Roll up the sushi roll with the bamboo mat.

Roll the nori leaf in the bamboo mat and press to form a firm rice roll.

Place the rice roll on a chopping board.

Rice roll with strawberry slices — Place thinly cut strawberry slices on the rice roll.

Cover the rice roll with thin slices of strawberry.

Decorate strawberry sushi with sweet soy sauce and wasabi sesame, then cut open with gari, wasabi and soy sauce.

Technical note: Ura-Maki (裏巻き) means “rolled from the inside”, this is also known as California Roll. The rice is attached to the outside of the Nori leaf. Ura-Maki are not traditional Maki and have their origin, it is assumed, among Japanese Americans at the Pacific coast of the USA.

These are yosushi-rolls.
