make sushi

I have bought the ingredients for sushi – rice, rice vinegar, seaweed and mat. All I need to do is buy some fresh fish and get rolling.

I’ve even got wasabi peas. I don’t like wasabi peas but want it to be authentic.

I’ve been meaning to do this for over a year now, and last weekend I finally got around to it. I used the recipes from the Veganomicon, doctoring them slightly to allow for non-vegan mayo, and chopped up marinated tofu (the kind made by Cauldron) instead of tempeh, which is a little hard to come by. Other fillings included mucho avocado, sesame seeds, slivers of carrot and cucumber. Obviously no fish – technically, the raw fish stuff is sashimi, not sushi.

So much fun, and easy! And a lot quicker to make than one would think. I had an absolute blast squishing sticky rice onto seaweed, layering up pretty fillings and rolling them up with my little sushi mat. It was playtime with fun food, and it looked great once I’d sliced it up and arranged the pieces on the plate. HA snapped loads of pics of my hands in action and I felt like a food stylist.

And yummmmm, it was so tasty! We blasted our way through the lot within minutes, dipping them in soy sauce and superhot wasabi. We couldn’t get the pickled ginger jar open for love nor money, but no matter, they were still incredibly delicious.

I’m totally doing it again as soon as possible. Next time I hope to have ginger available, and I’ll also pat the rice a bit more thinly, but other than that it was a really fun, healthy and tasty dinner.

i’ve got all the ingredient, now i just need to get going and have a go :D

done this! mom and i made sushi together… we had fun doing it! we had fun eating it! hehehe yummy sushi I Love!. =)

im on… sushinow.com =)

now i have a sushi rolling mat and sushi nori! But! i’ve been stuck here on the net dumbfounded by the process of making a real good sushi. now i know i cant just use the long grain rice…its gotta b the japanese rice. else it wont be sticky enough. then there’s that need for the rice vinegar to make the sushi rice taste better…

oh well, guess this goal has to wait til i’ve got enough time to go over the do-it-yourself sushi recipe,(and make it really good on my first try!)

i’m excited!!!! =)

my all-time favorite… cant be in japanese restaurants all the time. quite expensive. so, gotta make sushi on my own…couple it with wasabi and home-made shrimp tempura. yummy!!!!!

trying to find a not too expensive workshop

I’m in love. Sushi is just so yummy and healthy at the same time. I don’t get guilt trips when I eat it. It makes my dad throw up, but that’s the only negative I can think of!

My sushi addiction is of the form of a near constant craving. But it’s a finely honed reliance, this is. I’d like to learn how to roll my own, and maybe make combinations of some of my current faves!
