This is for the sake of someone..seriously troublesome but nice food, this time it’s a two or three part recipe, Japanese Sushi. First part will be the cooking of the rice. Choose Sushi Rice or any short and fat grains rather than long grains due to the stickiness when the cooked, sushi rice need to be sticky. Ingredients: 2 tea cups of sushi rice (consider each cup is 250ml, if your cup is 500ml then one cup of rice will do) Twice the amount of water, slightly more won’t hurt (ratio for rice:water will be 1:2 1/2…This is only for washing of the rice!! And you gotta rinse it several times, so this is only for 1 time usage!) 650ml of water, considering we used 500ml cup for the rice. (This is for cooking of the rice!!) 2-3 tablespoon Sushi Rice Vinegar or Thai Rice Vinegar Well..Now we are through the list of stuff you will need, make sure you have a non-metallic bowl, a rice paddle and also a Teflon saucepan! Oh i forgot..a cotton towel too! Steps: Put the rice into the big plastic bowl and also the water for rinsing the rice. Soak the rice for about 20-30 minutes. Check the color of the rice. Once in turns pearly white, it’s ready to be washed! Pour out the water, and fill it with fresh water. Wash the rice with slow circular motions. Repeat the washing for several times, until the color of the water becomes clear. Pour out the water and put the rice on a colander for bout 2-3 minutes. Prepare the saucepan by putting it on a stove, make sure you have a tight-fitting cover for it! Now, put in the already washed rice and water for cooking the rice. Get the fire to medium-high with the lid OFF, stir with rice paddle. And turn the fire down very low, put the lid back ON. Cook for 15-20 minutes. If during the process you feel that the rice is burning, add in minimal hot water. If you are unsure whether the rice is ready, take off the lid and taste the rice. If the rice is not done, put the lid back ON. If the rice is ready, turn off the heat, allow the rice to stay in the saucepan for 8-12 minutes with the lid ON. After that, REMOVE the lid and allow the rice to stay for 2-3 minutes in the saucepan. Transfer the cooked rice into the PLASTIC BOWL. Prepare the rice paddle and the Sushi Rice Vinegar. Sprinkle the Sushi Rice Vinegar over the rice. In order to spread the vinegar evenly, we will have to ‘fold’ the rice. So, here comes your rice paddle! Slowly slide in your rice paddle by the side of the plastic bowl, and fold the rice. And then slowly, cut the edge of the rice with your rice paddle, and fold again. Repeat the folding until you feel that the rice is too hard to fold anymore. DO NOT OVERDO!!! Now, here comes the final part! When you are done with the folding, put the towel on the plastic bowl, ensure that it covers every part of opening on the bowl. And you are ready to make sushi! Watch out for part 2 of this Sushi recipe..Gotta sleep, do share your own recipe too!

Okies, here comes part 2 of the Sushi recipe, this part is more of a free and easy part, cause this part is about the ingredients and rolling of the sushi. So, here goes! Ingredients: Salted Salmon Crabstick Nori or the large piece of seaweed used in sushi Some Vinegar Oh by the way..We are making the Maki Sushi. Steps: Slice all the salted salmon and crabstick into the ideal size first, best is about 1-2cm in diameter, you wouldn’t want the sushi to come up big. Alright, here comes the fun part. Alright, on the table, lay your rolling sushi mat out. Put the nori on the rolling mat. Use the rough side of the nori. Use a rice paddle to assist you in putting the rice. Apply some vinegar onto the paddle. Now keep the paddle wet at all times. Put the rice on the nori evenly. Try to make sure when you apply your rice, do it gently, it not your nori will break. The thickness of the rice with nori should be about 4-6 millimeters. Leave a fine part of the nori empty, for us to keep the sushi closed, roughly half inch will do. Next, we will place the ingredients onto the rice, I’ll place the crabstick on top of the salmon. And you can start rolling. The key thing in making the sushi is to make it tight, grip the rolling mat tight. If you don’t tighten your grip, everything will start falling out. Some ingredients might come out when you unroll it due to the hard grip you gave it, don’t worry, push it back with your hand/finger. Cut the sushi into the ideal size. For me is no more bigger than a half inch. And remember to use Sushi knife to cut. If you notice that rice is sticking onto the knife, wet the knife and continue cutting. Serve with Japanese Soy Sauce and Wasabi. Enjoy, gotta rush for work! Alter the sushi recipe as you wish and do share!

The last part of the sushi making is actually the easiest, Nigiri Sushi! Ingredients: Sushi Rice, cooked Ingredients you would like to have, for this case I used Salted Salmon Steps: Using your hand, pick up small chunks of rice and start molding it. Hold the rice on one of your palms, and using the three longest fingers, press the rice by the side, to ensure to rice sticks and hold on to the shape. Simply put the fish on the rice, press the fish slightly so that it sticks on it. The more traditional way is to place the fish on your palm first, and push the rice into the fish, ensuring that the rice won’t go out of shape. For the ingredients like crabstick or sweeten eggroll, you got to use a piece of nori or seaweed, to ensure that the rice and the ingredient stay together. Simple as that! Nothing much you can alter other than the ingredients and the seaweed. Share it through the comments with others!
