Sushi in Your East Lansing Apartment!
I recently went to spend some time with my best friend and her husband in Florida. On my last night there, Becca and I decided to make use of her wedding presents and try our hand at making some sushi. Above is a picture of the actual sushi we made! We were a little nervous as neither of us had made it before, but it was surprisingly easy and most of all fun!
Here are some tips for making sushi at your Chandler Crossings apartment:
- Make sure you have the right ingredients. It DOES matter what type of rice you have, so make sure you purchase the kind made especially for sushi rolls.
- Do all your prep first. Make sure all ingredients are cut and ready so that when you start they are right at your fingertips.
- Have a sense of humor. The first time you make it, it may not be perfect, but that is all part of the fun. (The first roll I made turned out as an oval).
Ingredients
- 1 cup prepared sushi rice
- ½ avocado
- 4 crab sticks (or real king crab or jumbo lump crab meat for a luxury California roll)
- ½ cucumber
- 1 sheet dried nori seaweed
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- For a spicy California roll, add a few drops of hot pepper sauce to the mayonnaise
Preparation
- Cut the peeled and pitted avocado and the peeled cucumber in quarters lengthwise.
- Spread the sushi rice over the sheet of seaweed, and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the surface.
- If you don’t have a bamboo rolling mat, place a sheet of plastic wrap on the worktop, and turn the layer of seaweed and sushi rice upside down flat on the the plastic wrap so that the seaweed ends up on top.
- Place the avocado, cucumber and crab sticks evenly down the center, and coat the filling with mayonnaise. Roll the layer up from one edge, and slice the roll into 8 pieces.
