#100 SPECIAL – MAKING SUSHI IS A NO-BRAINER !
I really need to update this space regularly but recently, I have been so swamped up with my recently opened online shop and other business projects. I am also starting my corporate job tomorrow so hopefully, I will not be too overwhelm with more things.
I am very thankful for my maid as she has so many skills and has been assisting us for 5 years already. About 2 weeks ago, she taught me how to make sushi. I never knew making sushi was so simple until I learnt it from her. I remember making sushi with Samantha & Alan back in 2006 but I did not get the hang of it. Right now, I am able to make sushi even by closing my eyes.
Want to learn how to make sushi the easy way ?

So what do you do after consolidating all your ingredients together ?
1) Cook your sushi rice with 1 tablespoon of olive oil & a pinch of salt

* the zucchini does not have to be boiled
4) Stir-fry the eggs and cook them as scramble eggs.
After which, slice the egg into pieces.
5) Put all the slices of sausages, crab meats, eggs, carrots and zucchini into a huge bowl.

After which, your ingredients will be like the 5th picture above.
Next up, we are gonna roll up the sushi !
ROLLING IT UP !
I was working in a sushi store at UBC previously and they have machines producing pretty nice rectangular shaped rice on a piece of seaweed. However, we have to do it manually at home. So here are a few simple steps to follow:
1st picture – Place the seaweed on a clean chopping board.
2nd picture – Patiently put a thin layer of rice on top of the seaweed so that the layer of rice can be stick to it.
3rd picture – At 1/3 of the bottom of the seaweed, carefully place a few thin slices of the mixed ingredients on it.
4th picture – Carefully roll your sushi from the bottom of the seaweed (nearer to where the ingredients are).
5th & 6th pictures – YOU HAVE GOT YOURSELF LOTS OF MIXED EGG/CRAB MEAT/SAUSAGES/CUCUMBER/CARROT SUSHIS !!
Home-cooked food & DIY crafts have always been my thing but I am always consumed by the hustle and bustle of life.
Hope you guys find this useful ~ I will update soon, stay tuned !
