The other night, Alex told me that he wants more fish in his diet. I've been wanting sushi. Everyone's happy. (I sliced some strawberries up for Nick.)
I don't really have a recipe for sushi. Nori rolls are pretty basic (and delicious) stuff. I've made it so many times that I didn't want to look up a recipe just to post here.
Here's what I did: I made sushi rice in my rice cooker, stirred in rice vinegar and corn syrup, and cooled the rice quickly by fanning it. I got some really nice ahi tuna and some tobiko (flying fish roe).
For side dishes I marinated some tofu in sesame oil, and soy sauce and I garnished a plate of seaweed salad (goma wakame) with toasted sesame seeds.
This was really good. I bought crab and cucumber to make California rolls too. Alex and I were stuffed with the four rolls and the side dishes. It looks like we'll have crab salad some time this weekend.
This was the first time I've made sushi since I have a good rice cooker. It was without a doubt the best sushi rice I've ever made. I'm really starting to like the rice cooker.
