shanenin Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I tried to make sushi rolls tonight. I had alright results. I rolled up avocado, tuna, cucumber, ginger and horse radish(like wasabi) along with rice in seaweed sheets. The week part seemed to be the rice mixtue I used. My rolls did not hold tight. My next batch will turn out better, I will have to follow a traditional recipe for preparing the rice. I also just used regular long grain rice, I think real sushi rice binds together better. Any of you guys like sushi? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blim Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) OK, I don't like fish, horseradish, avodados and cucumbers are merely OK and never tried seaweed (but SisterSue says Spinach tastes like seaweed and I love spinach!) so I'm certainly no sushi expert, but I love rice!I do know that adding a bit more water makes rice "plumper/moister" and lifting the lid off the pan while the rice is cooking can cause "gumminess", along with stirring (Heaven Forbid!)......maybe "breaking the Cardinal Rules for cooking rice" might help make it stickier? Also, adding butter to rice helps to seperate the grains...if you add butter, perhaps skip it? Oh, Lord, I can't believe I'm giving advice on how to make sticky rice.....Liz Edited March 17, 2007 by blim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 The only raw seafood I used to eat was clams and oysters. After the transplant they're are not allowed in my diet. In fact they tell me I have to make sure everything is cooked thoroughly. Yuck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garmanma Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Yes, sushi rice makes it a little bit easier. Did you use the bamboo rolling mats? It helps pack it a little. Tuna is the only fish I'll eat rawMark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 hmmm, I love Japanese stuff (I'm even trying to learn to speak Japanese) but I don't know if I'm diggin the idea of raw fish or a lot of what's in sushi. There's other Japanese food I'll tear up but sushi ain't on my list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) I bought some short grain rice today and rice vinegar(I used balsamic yesterday). I have some left over tuna, so I am going to make a new batch today. i think the main problem with my rice was its moisture level. After adding the vinegar mixture, I will dry it slightly.

garmanma Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Got me hungry. Only problem is I got a big old pot of corned beef and cabbage cooking away right now. Maybe next week.

marko_tomas13 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Ahh, I am a lover of all things seafood any kind of fish/lobster/crab is all good with me. Sushi I have tried a few times but anytime I eat it it doesn't taste all that bad (fairly bland actually) however afterwards I still feel like I have to go eat something heavier. I also am not a big fan of sticky rice but sushi on occasion isn't bad. I'll have to find a good sushi place near me to go try out and give it a real chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hitest Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Oh man, shanenin, now you've made me hungry for Japanese food. I haven't been to a Japanese restaurant in years. The food looks delicious. Great picture of your kid, shanenin:-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) hmm, I may have to drive up to Cool Springs and go to Sake (not the rice wine, it's the name of a Japanese restaurant, REAL Japanese, no them stupid Japanese steakhouses). I've been there once but that was a while back.My dad likes Japanese food. While he was in Zama, Japan for yearly or bi yearly or whatever training back some years ago (national guard), he signed up for a home stay with this one family so he and a few other guardsman with him got to chow down on some frickin real as it gets Japanese food. I still have 2 sets of chopsticks in my room he brought back from that trip.Within a year or 2, me and some of my friends and maybe my dad and maybe even my mom, we plan to go to Japan. I'm tryin my dernedest to learn Japanese for the trip. (speech, ain't no way in the bad place am I gonna learn the written language in that time, Kanji and the other alphabets they use are hard) Edited March 18, 2007 by Honda_Boy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
