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.

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)

Taada....
