This month’s #letslunch endeavor is small bites for spring. This left me with a bit of a dilemma since spring is an awfully long way off here on the prairies. So I dug my way through the snow to my favorite local fish shop in search of fresh ingredients to make sushi at home. Heck, there ain’t a farmer’s market here until at least June so fresh to me is imported fresh.
The tuna looked fantastic – line caught only 2 days ago in the deep pacific so it was sashimi grade, scallops, masago (both frozen – which is preferable due to bacterial concerns) and some pickled sea beans. I think I see my challenge.
I have eaten my own weight in sushi but have never tried to make it myself until now and figured that this would be a good time to start. Armed with a recipe for sushi rice and good fish…here I go…
I love sushi, I love Asian food in general. Don’t let it scare you – if I can do it at home, so can you!
Lovelovelove the video. I haven't made sushi in years but this inspired me to try it again! Now to get one of those sushi-rolling mats. Thanks for sharing...
