A couple of days ago, I asked the good people of Twitter and Facebook if they had any requests for the blog and that is when the guys in California’s Orange County Rockers in BURNHALO (www.myspace.com/bunrhalo) asked me to make some sushi!

Now sushi is an all around favorite and another recipe that once you make it once and kind of figure out how it works, you can make with tons of different ingredients.

IE:While preparing for this blog I tried a fruit sushi … which was not a success (hence why it isn’t in this blog)

————–INGREDIENTS————–

-1pck of seaweed sheets

-1 1/2 cups of rice (the stickier the better)

-1filet of fresh salmon (or crab, or tuna, or shrimp, or vegetarian!)

-1 avocado, sliced

-1/2 a cucumber in  julienne

-1 sushi mat

you can add a lot of different meats and vegetables to make it your own. It’s what makes making sushi so fun, especially between friends. You can prepare alot of different stuff before hand and then everyone can just make their own little roll!

————–

-In a sauce pan, bring the rice and 2cups of fresh water to a boil and let simmer for 25minutes.

-Cut all vegetables and leave on a plate

-Once rice is cooked, place your sushi mat near all your vegetables and fish

-Place one seaweed sheet on the mat and apply a little water (or sushi vinegar) on it.

-add rice to the sheet and cover, leave 1inch clear at both ends to help stick

-Roll the sheet with the mat and cut in the desired size.

The technique to make sushi isn’t an easy one to learn and it may take a couple of times before you find the right ratio of water/rice and stuff to put in to have a good and solid roll.

It’s also important to make sure you have a well sharpened knife handy!
