I luv shushis!

Nick and I got a sushi set for our wedding and the other day we finally got a chance to try it out. We went to Central Market and picked up some fillings including Ahi Tuna, shrimp, Krab, avocado, and cucumber. This was my first attempt at making my own sushi so the first couple were rough but I picked it up pretty quick. I made the sushi while Nick documented the momentous event. Check it out-how to make your own sushi(fyi-I cant handle the sushi with the seaweed on the outside, so we made the inside out sushi rolls where the rice is on the outside and the seaweed is on the inside. I know, I'm weird.)

Step 1: Lay out the Nori (dried seaweed sheet).




Step 2: Put rice on top.




Step 3: Flip it over so the rice will be on the outside.




Step 4: Add whatever fillings you want. We made a lot of spicy tuna rolls. My favorite!




Step 5: Start rolling.




Step 6: Keep rolling.




Step 7: Make a bunch of rolls.




Step 8: Cut into slices and serve with wasabi, pickled ginger, and soy sauce. Chopsticks are a must. (isn't that a cute sushi set with the plates and little sauce bowls - can you call them bowls if they are square??)




Step 9: Admire your effort.




Step 10: Eat until gone.




Anyone up for sushi?!

I want one!! Brent went to Japan on his mission and loves sushi. I like the California rolls and anything without raw fish. We'll have to try that out.
