Sushi

[isabella]

I was given the bits and bobs to make Sushi - vegetarian
Has anyone else had a go at making them?

[Plocket]

My OH makes it, and it's delicious! I assume you've got the sticky Japanese rice to use. I think my main tip would be not to use too much wasabi - it's HOT!!!!!!!

Hello Plocket - I have the mat ,rice, seaweed sheets, rice wine,wasabi and pickled ginger.
I was going to use cucumber,carrot and yellow pepper for the filling - no way could I eat raw fish
I always think Sushi looks so pretty when I see it in the shops - I will make some on Sunday morning and my Sons can be guinea pigs

You don't have to put raw tuna in Isabella, but smoked salmon works just as well if you aren't vegetarian. And you've mentioned cucumber, carrot and yellow pepper - they are all good because they add texture and flavour.

Made some Sushi - not keen to make it again !

[Plocket]

Eh? Why not? It takes quite a long time but surely it tasted nice?

[isabella]

I really didn't like the taste of the toasted seaweed sheets Plocket It looked very pretty though

[Plocket]

Oh well at least you've tried it!

I didn't know the seaweed sheets were toasted!
