Sushi Oooo

I helped my mum with her Sushi last week. Well, actually both of us were learning through reading from books and recipes. For a start, I think making Sushi is very costly.. because while we do not really need any fancy kitchen equipment, the ingredients were really costly. Also.. very time consuming.

The most important in the process will probably be the Rice (that's my opinion only) and that's the best part too. Pretty simple.. we just need to wash the Japanese short grain white rice clean (I really like the feeling of washing the rice..), leave it for 20 to 30 mins and cook it. Mixing the rice vinegar to the rice after cooking was fun too.

After mixing :)

After the rice become sticky from the mixing.. we may start making sushi. The process was actually kind of difficult.. We placed the rice on top of the Bamboo Sushi Mat (of course with plastic on top of that mat). This process is not fun.. very sticky and very troublesome (I do not really like it at all). After that, a Nori was place on top of that rice with the filling too. Then.. we roll the rice. 

.. with fillings (1st time)

Overall, I have fun helping out (although I play with the camera too). The whole process was like 2 hours plus (maybe because we are still new and the rolling things is not easy too)

Introduction...

I am not really a fan of writing... so, I have never considered blogging before. But my 3 other siblings had their own blogs to share their views (frankly speaking, I really do not understand how they have the energy to write after their very long day). What more, I am currently on a long leave after 6 years of working (very long hours and practically everyday with exceptions on my study breaks where I will be studying, sleeping and loitering). Guess the best way to used the time will probably be blogging since I have nothing much to do. You see, it's pretty bored doing nothing. For a while, the fact that I need not work sound fun (I really enjoyed the long sleeps, the many mags and other read materials and not forgetting catching up on old tv series) but after a while, I grew tired of it. I am thinking how to utilise the hours. One of the way I managed to figure out is I shall help my mother with her cooking....
