California Rolls!
A few years ago, I went on a cruise. Do you care? No, but I do want to brag about my sushi making skills. I actually took a class on the ship and have a certificate-- not even kidding. It's been quite a while since I've made some at home so I decided to do it tonight. Depending on where you are, it can be difficult to find the right ingredients for sushi, but I managed to find them: sushi rice, nori (seaweed), imitation crab. The rest are pretty simple, like avocado, cucumber, and any sauces you'd prefer. I also like to use sesame seeds and scallions as toppings. The first thing I did was start the rice. It was a basic process: 1 cup of rice to 1 1/4 cup of water brought to a boil then covered and simmered for 25 minutes. Since we're working with our hands, I wanted to let this cool way down before working with it. The sushi rice is very sticky and needs to be, so I'm not stirring it up at this point. Meanwhile, I started prepping the cucumber. I can't remember...
