Sushi



Sushi is on the rise in America, showing up in grocery stores, japanese resurants, and even in sushi bars. Sushi is delicious when someone else makes it, but even better when you make it yourself. It is simple once you get the hang of it. Its cost effective and great way to entertain.


Materials needed.


Sushi mat


ceranwrap


nori (the seaweed that holds the sushi together)


sushi rice (its sticky and holds the sushi together)


very sharp knife (this is the most important tool to make sushi because the nori is so delicate that it tears easily).


Any Ingriedents you may want which may include the following and many more- feel free to experiment


Imitation crab


any type of fish (cooked or raw)


veggies like carrot, cucumber


fruit like pineapple, banana


Avacado


Cream cheese-keep it on the light side


green onions


sesame seeds


anything else you want in there :)

Directions:

Lay nori flat on sushi mat. spread a thin layer of rice on the nori. add ingridents in a thin strip one inch from the edge of the nori clostest to you. once all ingridents are combine, roll sushi tight using sushi mat. It may take a few tries to master. Chill rolls for 15 minutes. Slice into 1" pieces and enjoy- goes great with soy sauce.
