One of our friends here was willing to teach us how to make sushi, so we decided to make the most of it and had a few families from our ward over.
The sushi was VERY good, but in order to make it taste really good you have to have all sorts of specialized ingredients...the most important lesson I learned was just to get sushi at a restaurant or have Danette make it.
Here are some of the preparations that took place before we actually began to roll the sushi:
Cutting very thin pieces of tuna, salmon, avocado and cucumber. You have to fan the rice to get it to the perfect level of stickiness and while fanning pour in a heated mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and Hawaiian Salt; this also adds to the stickiness. There were other things that needed to be prepared as well as illustrated by the pictures, (not to mention the stuff that Danette prepared at home):
Here is the step by step process of actually rolling the sushi.
Now it was Eric's turn to try it out....
Not quite up to par with Danette, but still pretty good.
It was fun and Danette was so nice to teach a houseful of people to make sushi!
