Sushi party 12/26/08

I made sushi roll for my friend's party tonight.

Some people can not eat any raw fish, so every rolls have to be made with cooked fish.

So, I didn't go Japanese market, I went to "sprout market"in my neighbor.

I got a beautiful salmon, cream cheese, cucumbers, avocado, and imitation crab.

With my brown rice, I can make crunchy roll, california roll, philadelphia roll and salmon skin roll.

I used soy bean wrapper for philadelphia roll instead of nori (roasted seaweed).

They have sesame, green, orange, pink and yellow colors.

They looks so beautiful with combination of fish, vegetables and rice.

Tonight, I will show you how to make brown sushi rice. (crunchy roll)

You know how to make my brown rice (please check my blog)

Brown rice for sushi : For steamed brown rice made with total 4 cups of brown rice and sweet brown rice.

Sushi vinegar sauce : 6 Tbsp rice vinegar, 3 Tbsp sugar and pinch salt...........Mix well

Direction: pour the mixture sauce to the hot steamed brown rice from the edge in circular motion ~ mix with side ways cutting motion to prevent the rice from becoming mushy

~ let's cool it down for a while and "body temperature" is the best for sushi rice.

My favorite philadelphia roll : Of course, fresh raw salmon, 2 Tbsp cream cheese, cucumber (thin cut), 2 Tbsp salmon egg ( for decoration on the top of rolls), little avocado (thin cut), 1 pc soy bean wrapper.

Delicious brown rice sushi rolls.

Enjoy!
