I wanted to take a picture but my camera batteries were dead&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I had given BN a sushi mat in his Christmas stocking as a sort of &#8220;gift certificate&#8221; that we&#8217;d try it soon. It was actually so easy. I think the key was getting special sushi rice&#8230; The sushi rice cooked perfectly in our rice cooker, and I mixed in sushi vinegar as instructed by my Japanese cookbook. For fillings we used carrots, julienned using a gadget I got from Pampered Chef; cucumbers, marinated dried shitake mushrooms, and an egg cooked in a thin pancake. We had the essential garnishes: pickled ginger, soy sauce and wasabi for authentic flavors. And toasted sesame seeds &#8211; sesame seeds are totally useless unless you toast them. It&#8217;s really easy to do that, in a dry skillet on the stove. Just have to watch them, they burn quick.<\/p>\n<p>Next time I will stock up on Krab and avocados to make California rolls! Maybe someday will we try raw fish. I&#8217;m just cautious about purchasing, storing and preparing it correctly. But I do love sashimi, especially tuna and salmon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, last night we tried making sushi&#8230; it came out great!
