Sushi 'cookery' course
A few days ago I had a course how to make sushi ^___^
It took only 4 hours, but it was pretty fun *____*
I LOVE sushi ! Especially with tuna and salmon !! *drools*
I have never thought of making sushi by myself, but after this course I will definitively give it a try ^^;;
Unfortunately we didn´t do the 'real' thing - that means the cook didn´t bring uncooked fish with him ! But we had smoked salmon *drools more* ^-^;;
He just wanted to show us the procedure of making sushi !
He also showed how to color the rice (for children e.g.) - we used the juice of beetroot (so the rice was pink XD *squee*) But that one didn´t taste that good :/ .....
We also made pancakes and rolled them - don´t know why he did that (it has nothing to do with sushi XD)
As you can see there is the pink rice I mentioned before XD It looks toxically XD but it had no taste at all !
You have to intermix the beetroot juice with the rice, when it´s still hot !
We used a lot of stuff for the inside of the sushi ^^;; ... fungal, brook trout, sweet tofu (it was really tasty ^^), carrots, olives (baah x_X) ....
For a beginner like me it was hard to handle the rice, because it was REALLY clingy ! >____>;;
Unfortunately we didn´t have enough rice vinegar and so we added some sake *pukes* >___> ... It´s NOT sushi if you have no vinegar !!! -____-;; .... that´s my opinion XD
The most difficult part was the rolling in XD;; ... I messed up a few times, but at last I got used to it ^^;;
Hn~ trial package of ginger, wasabi and soy sauce XD~ ♥♥~
And that was when I ate the sushi we made XD of course WITH green tea ! In my opinion green tea fits best to sushi ^^ (especially sencha ! I can´t understand why people drink cola when eating sushi x__X;; ...)
Oh and I soooo love sushi soy sauce ! Not the *normal* soy sauce, but the one you use when eating sushi *___*
The photo looks strange right ? XD I just wanted to try photo editing once XD (There´s no special meaning behind this XDDD)
Hehe~ a close-up of one of the beetroot colored sushi XD It really looks toxically XDD
But the corn inside was tasty ! I want to try that too, when making sushi the next time XD
Oh and of course I eat with chopsticks ! I always do that !!! Some of my friends still aren´t able to use them properly XD but it really tastes better when you eat sushi with chopsticks :)
A day after the sushi *cookery* course I bought this stuff XD;; Hehe~ I´m looking forward to make sushi on my own ^^;;;
And I sooooooooooooo want to make onigiri ^______^ (should be easier than sushi o___o ....)
Ok what have we here ?
left) Nori ^^ (it was pretty expensive :/ .... over 3€ / 3,80$)
middle) instant Miso soup XD I couldn´t resist ^^;;; ... there are 3 different ones in it ! I haven´t tried one yet though :/ .... I guess I will start with the tofu one *___* (I hope I won´t be disappointed, because I´ve already tried miso soup in a pretty good Japanese restaurant)
right) sushi rice ^^ It was really cheap !!! More cheap than most of the normal rice here !! (2,10€ / 2,50$)
I need to buy rice vinegar and soy sauce ... I´m not sure if I should buy wasabi, too ... I don´t use it THAT often *coughs* .... hehe ^^;;
Questions:
Any good suggestions what I could put into my sushi next time ? Something that is easy to roll for a beginner please XD
And any good suggestions what I could put into my onigiri ? *______*
That´s all for now ^_______^/~
