Recently a friend and I were at the mall to do some window shopping and there is a new sushi place in the food court. She wanted sushi but I, thinking I didn't like sushi (yes I tried it once 5 years ago), wasn't going to get any. Now after staring at the board so long, and for it just looking so good, I changed my mind and decided to try that veggie roll that had been calling my name! I didn't anticipate actually liking it due to my last experience but figured worst case 1. I could say for sure I didn't like it and 2. My friend would have a yummy lunch the next day!
Well I tried it....and I liked it!! It was pretty yummy so there must have been something in the other one I didn't like, not the sushi itself. One I found this out I had it in my mind that I must. make. SUSHI!! I went out and bought a bamboo mat, nori, and short grained brown rice.
Now I had all the stuff but was extremely apprehensive. Sushi looks so impressive and I wasn't sure if it would turn out or not. I had heard it was easy so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. Well it turned out very well!! I just added some cucumber, zucchini and imitation crab meat to make a simple little roll. I even got the last roll to come out almost square!
I'm glad it turned out and even more glad that I gave sushi another shot! I'm already thinking about what I will fill it with next and will definitely be making some again!
So what are your favorite sushi fillings or combinations???
Yay sushi! Maybe we should schedule a sushi girl's night in
