One of my gifts from my hubby this year was a sushi making kit. We are both sushi lovers so we decided to make it at home one weekend. It was a very long process (about 3 hours) to make these and for that, we will be going to a restaurant to get our sushi fix for now on!
Sushi actually isn't that difficult to make.
Ingredients:
2 cups Short grain rice + 1 cup water
1/2 cup Rice Vinegar
Assorted veggies; julienned (we used carrots and cucumber)
Cream cheese; cubed
Avocado; sliced
Fresh salmon or tuna; sliced or diced
Seaweed paper
A sushi roller
The short grain rice takes the longest to prepare. The rice needs to be rinsed numerous times before cooking it to remove excess starch. The rice is then cooked according to package directions. When cooled, mix the rice with the Rice vinegar.
Next, lay the seaweed paper on the sushi roller and evenly spread about 1/2 a cup of rice covering the seaweed paper. Place a small amount of the julienned veggies and other fixing (fresh fish, avoacado or cream cheese) in the center of the rice. Finally, the trickiest part is rolling it up tightly.
The finished product looks like this...not bad for the first and only time making homemade sushi!
