At the risk of recreating Julie & Julia, this post is also going to be about my culinary explorations



Yes, I made すし. かぱまき in fact.

Making this type of maki is quite easy. All you need that you probably won't have lying around is a sushi mat, which is just a set of bamboo stick tied together that helps you roll and not rip the sushi. You will also need a fairly sharp knife for the same reason.

Sushi rice isn't just plain rice, one needs to add a touch of salt, sugar and vinegar. After that, making simple sushi is just what you would expect. Lay out the nori, spread rice, cut thin strips of whatever you want in the sushi and then roll it with the mat.

This time I didn't do something quite so nontraditional, i just put cucumber in it. I hope to try making California rolls next.

  3. hey that looks good...
    It turns out my wife and I also attempt to make Japanese cuisine as well. Have you tried the rice and desert goodies at M2M? Also there is a really affordable sushi spot called YUKA on the east side that worth the commute.

  5. I like sushi, although I don't eat it that often. It just isn't filling enough.
