The Little Sushi Den

What a night! We decided to open up the Little Sushi Den on Friday while Pete and Jenny were here. We had so much fun rolling way too much sushi. Here are some pictures of the night. I'm not sure if a recipe is really needed for this dinner since it is pretty self explainatory. I know Jenny & Pete thought it was going to be a lot harder then it really was.

I guess the only rules you need to comply with are:

• Spreading just enough rice on the paper so that it just covers it. If you put too much it just overpowers the ingredients in it.
• Make sure you always keep your hands wet so that the rice doesn't stick.
• Wet the roll to seal it.
• Cut your vegis really thin. Everything should be matchstick size. You don't need as much as you think!
• Wet your sharp knife before each cut.
• If you're going to do an inside out roll cover the bamboo roller with suran wrap first.

We used:

• sushi rice
• carrots
• cucumbers
• avacado
• cream cheese
• shrimp tempura (from costco)
• wasabi
• ginger
