My favorite dish

My favorite dish is sushi rolls. I tried to make them once. It was on Ben's birthday, because sushi is also one of his favorite dishes. He does not like the rolls as well as me, but he does enjoy them. So I went to my boss at work, who I knew was also a sushi roll lover, and had mentioned that he makes them at home sometimes. He offered even to teach me, but I wanted to do it alone with Ben. We did try to make them, and they were good, but it is cheaper to go eat out at a nice sushi restaurant them have them flop at home.



I am not sure exactly how to make them, this has been two years ago that I did them at home.

First you boil the Japenese rice, vinegar, sugar, and let it cool.


Then you cut up your ingredients, We put yellow tail tuna, lobster and crab in ours as the main filler.

We also added cucumbers, cream cheese, carrots, and avocado.

after preparing all the ingredients, you take one seaweed paper and evenly spread the rice over it. Just enough so that the entire paper is coated.

** A little helpful hint is that it is very important to keep your hands as clean as possible throughout the entire process.

After the seaweed is coated you take your main filler, choose one, or use a little of each, and you put it at on end of the evenly spread out rice. You also add your veggies at this point.

Then you roll the sushi and slice and eat. Add your sauce of choice and maybe sesame seed. Eel sauce is good, this is what I would suggest. or some kind of already made calamari sauce... a little sweet. Japanese mayo and crab is also very good. Take your pick, be sure and ask when you go to buy your fish at the Japanese market. Don't forget the soy sauce and wasabi.



Get the peanut butter and jelly out of the fridge, it will be in the door somewhere. Hope you like smuckers sugar free jelly and natural peanut butter, its all we have. Grab the wheat bread from the counter and get a butter knife out of the drawer there by the sink, and a spoon. Plates are directly above the counter and you can use the cutting board if you like, I leave it on the counter all the time. Take the peanut butter and smear it on one side of the sandwich, puts lot of peanut butter on, put a little the jelly on the other piece of bread with the spoon. Put the two pieces of bread together, with the uncovered side of the bread facing out. Cut it into fours. Put it on the plate.
