sushi DIY

yesterday we decided to try and make sushi on our own because we really love sushi and wanted to be creative. 

 i have to say it´s not hard to make at all and i´m really proud of the outcome:

but there are a few things you have to know when you want to do it yourself:

1. buy real sushi rice (you get that in almost every bigger supermarket, i got mine in an asian shop)

2. cook the rice - but not too long, it will get very paste-like if you do. 

general rule for rice cooking: for every cup of rice (1 per person) two cups of water, cook it until all soaks in.

3. flavor the cooked rice with salt, sugar and rice wine vinegar - try out how much you would like.

4. then don´t be impatient - wait until the rice has cooled out.

5. wet your hands entirely so that it won´t stick as much on your fingers.

6. start filling the nori (black sea stuff) with rice (not too much) and start putting your ingredients on one side - then start rolling!

7. be creative - you can fill or top sushi with almost everything as you can see on the picture above (classics are tuna, salmon, avocado, butterfish, spinage etc.)

over all, we had a really nice dinner with fresh strawberry cream and sushi and of course we couldn´t miss out on the spring rolls, which we didn´t diy btw :)
