35 b4 35 // sushi from scratch

{posted on September 27th, 2011 in 35 b4 35}

the final result. sooo yum.

last thursday was the day: we made sushi = i get to cross out #32 on the list. yay. my sister is a chef and had just recently taken a sushi class in hamburg so naturally, i went to her for this :) my nephew (who’s almost thirteen) likes sushi as well and joined us. she was nice enough to get everything we need and even had all the ingredients cut up and ready to go by the time i got to their place after work. score.

essentials and some ingredients

i started out simple with a shake maki (salmon maki)

start out with rice on the nori sheet

next up: your filling. in this case: salmon.

before i tried something a little more “difficult” with more “filling”

california roll

and after two rolls i was brave enough to try an inside out maki :)

inside out w/ salmon & mango

everything turned out so great and yum. i can’t believe i haven’t done this before.

the final result. sooo yum.

we already decided to make it a monthly date and i only wish i’d had more room in my stomach so i could have made and tried even more. if you like sushi, you should definitely give it a try. here’s a site that explains everything pretty good and it’s not nearly as hard as i thought it’d be.

    Sooooo jealous! I am kind of obsessed with sushi. i think i could eat it every day. My boy has made it for me before from scratch, and it was awesome… but i’m not allowed in the kitchen because I screw things up. :) it looks super yummy!
