Sushi!

Tonight I made my first batch of sushi!

I am no way of an oriental background, and was at first very intimidated by this process.
But, I am glad to share with you that this is something you can do too!

California/Philadelphia Rolls

Step 1:
The sushi rice

*This entailed making white rice.
* Then boiling rice vinegar with sugar & salt.



Step 2:
The stuff that will be rolled

* Cut up imitation crab meat & avocado. ( For a California Roll)
*Cut up smoked salmon & cream cheese.  (For a Philadelphia Roll)


Step 3:
Lay Rice on top of Nori Seaweed Sheet.
*Don't go over board with this.
* You want to be able to see the Nori through the rice layer.

Step 4:
Cover bamboo mat with plastic wrap
* be sure that your plastic wrap is flat.

Step 5:
Lay the rice side of the Nori down on the cover bamboo matt.

Step 6:
Place fish and avocado or cream cheese strips vertically across.

Step 7:
Roll it all up

Step 8:
Ask husband to cut the rolls!

Once again, I must give credit to youtube's wonderful abundance of information.
