How I did it: On New Years Eve, me and my friends decided to make our own sushi (or no, they decided to make lasagne, but I said fucking no, and bought hella lot of sushi stuff =D)Since I had never made sushi before, I almost forgot the rice vinegar - luckily my friend told me to buy it before I left the store =)I washed the rice, a lot (I sure hate that part X___x'), I cooked it, I sliced the cucumber and avocado, and made the crab, eel, inari & t… Read how I did it…

I took a class on sushi-making years ago, and it’s really pretty easy. I like to invite friends over, teach them how to do it, and then have a nice meal of it all. Great fun!
The hardest part is getting good ingredients. I live in Silicon Valley, California, so there are several nearby stores that sell good quality fresh fish. But hey, you can make really good California Rolls anywhere you can buy (canned) crab, or the fake “Krab” stuff, and avocado.
I use a rice cooker to make the rice now, but I did it for years with just a pot on the stove. It’s not very difficult- consistency is the key, and you have to have the right variety of rice. My favorite is the “Kokuho Rose” kind, although “Calrose” works well too.
The picture is some I made on one of those evenings. The fish is salmon. Thinly sliced lime is a favorite ingredient, because it adds a nice tart flavor.

I made these smoked salmon sushi rolls last week and they were good.

It was awesome, and pretty easy, actually. I didn’t end up finding a sushi mat, but mine stayed together OK just by rolling them up by hand and squeezing a little bit. I did veggies and smoked salmon, because I don’t really have a trustworthy raw fish place…or at least I was nervous. But avacado-cucumber-smoked salmon sushi turned out to be DELICIOUS. I’m going to definitely make this again.

I checked out a book from the library on making sushi, so that’s the first part. I am going to start with veggie-sushi, just because I don’t really know the best place to get fresh fish. And once I experiment with the veggies, I can worry about the fish part!
Jahlizz is up too late.
I need a sushi mat, a rice cooker, a good knife, and someone who could point me in the right direction as to where to get the freshest fish. But I’ll do this!

I didn’t think they’d appreciate the sushi, so even though I made it anyway, I had them all to eat. They taste best when eaten right away.

We bring munchies and all sorts of goodies to our staff meetings/work-shops, and I bought some fried tofu pockets this past Saturday. I plan to make inarizushi pockets to bring. We’ll see how they turn out, or I might make rice paper wraps.

Two week-ends ago, a bunch of us got together, and rolled our own california rolls. it was great fun, even though i over-cooked the rice a little.
next up, i would like to make nigiri and some handrolls :)
