I am the kind of person that likes to use every pot in my kitchen when it comes to cooking. No matter if it’s just me eating or if I have visitors, pots everywhere. Last week while doing a little bit of a spring clean in my spare room I came across a book I bought many months ago – Quick and Easy Sushi.
While out at Tesco I came across a section that had the ingredients to make Sushi, rice, seaweed, ginger, wasabi, and soya sauce.I thought what the heck I am going to try this. I love Sushi so really I was already setting myself high standards.
I bought some Scottish salmon, cucumber and avocado and went home to start the mysterious ways of creating sushi. Following the instructions on the rice packet I boiled the rice and left it. While it was cooking down I started to cut the salmon, cucumber and the avocado into strips.
Once I had drained the rice after it cooling I started putting a thin layer onto the seaweed. The layer was in place so following the tips in Quick and Easy Sushi I placed the strips of salmon and cucumber/avocado onto the layer of which I then rolled.
After alternating the ingredients I had finished with 3 rolls. Upon trying them by complimenting each roll with ginger, wasabi and soya sauce I was fairly happy with the results. This experience has shown me that it’s an art, one that will take a while to master. From ingredients to rolling it’s not “that simple” and again this was just the rolls. The book contains many different recipes which I am going to try.

A good friend of mine is engaged to a Japanese girl. She has shown me a few times how to roll sushi, but I can never seem to get it right. It looks like you did a good job with it.
It’s making me hungry!

I should try this! I love sushi, but I hate the prices it commands in restaurants. Best of all worlds, here. 🙂

I LOVE LOVE LOVE OVE LOVE sushi! But it’s so damn hard to get good fresh sushi living in the UK, even in Liverpool, a port town. (Hmm, what kind of sushi would come from Liverpool I wonder?).
I eat it ALL the time when I am in Portland, Oregon.
