Julie & Eric | Sushi

Speaking of Julie & Eric …. they came over on Saturday to make sushi. Now, none of us have ever made sushi before and since I was leading the parade, I looked up a few tutorials beforehand.

The first thing you need to know is how to make perfect sushi rice. (PS: I have a rice maker, which made life sooooo much easier)

Ingredients & things we used:

1- sushi rice (Japanese short-grained rice), rice vinegar, sugar,salt

2- sashimi-grade tuna or salmon (1 lb each from Central Market)

3- chunk crabmeat

4- nori

5- veggies: cucumbers, avocados, asparagus, etc

6- sauces & stuff: cream cheese, wassabi, ginger, soy

7- sushi rolling mats

Doesn’t that tuna & salmon look divine!?

Julie rocked at making sushi. She’s laughing at us because we suck.
