Knowledge to the Test

For my birthday, Joel and I took a Sushi class at Sur LaTable. We finally went shopping for a few things today and put our knowledge to the test. I am so excited to be making sushi at home. After learning a few tricks and getting a few tips, we found out that making sushi really isn't that hard. The sushi rice is probably the most important item, from there the choices are endless and all up to you! For our first sushi session at home we kept it simple.

Sushi rice, high quality soy sauce, rice vinegar, Miran, wasabi paste, carrots, red bell peppers, avocado, cucumber, smoked salmon, nori and a rolling mat. After a couple of rolls we also made up a quick spicy sauce and added chopped cucumbers and tomatoes.

Nori splashed with a bit or Miran and sushi rice, a good start.

The filling, Joel decided to start with a bit of wasabi, cucumber, carrots, red pepper and salmon.

Roll tightly, we covered the mat with plastic wrap for easy clean up.

Delicious!

Then look at what happened! Noah asked if he could try making sushi. His first sushi roll was carrots and salmon.

Then he ate it, and he liked it! That's my boy!

Oliver made one too, he didn't try his but he had fun making it.
