well today is such a rainy day and so to bright it up I got the first recipe of the year for you.
My lovely boyfriend made me an amazing present for Christmas. I had no idea what present I would get from him so when he gave me my two presents for Christmas I opened them and screamed and I felt like a kid again.
He gave me a big Japanese cooking book and a DIY sushi box! OMG I love sushi and he doesn´t. So it was a big surprise for me that he offers me this present as he can´t benefit from it :P
So todays post is about my first try to make sushi.
In the box I got:
- 2 pairs of chopsticks
- 1 sushi mat
- 1 small recipe book
- 1 knife to cut the sushi rolls
- 3 little boxes to form your sushis
What you need for 3 suhsi rolls:
- 1/4 avocado
- 1 carrot
- 1/4 cumcumber
- some salad
- 250gr of sushi rice
- 3 Tbsp of sushi vinegar
- 2-3 nori sheets / seaweed
- soy sauce
How to do:
- take 250 gr of sushi rice, wash it a few times until you have clear water then cook it until the water is gone
- take a nori sheet and distribute the rice. IMPORTANT- your hands have to be wet and cold otherwise the rice will adhere on your hands
- cut your veggies into long slices
- put them on your rice
- now roll your sushi together, be sure that you roll tightly
- cut your roll into pieces
- fill a little bowl with soy sauce
