Sushi!

I have been having a total craving for sushi lately so I decided it was high time that I made some. I had a rough idea of what was required although the last time I made sushi was about 6 years ago so I found a handy website called http://www.sushiencyclopedia.com/ which gave my memory the boost it needed. So I made a list and off to the ever faithful Chinese supermarket to gather the necessary wares.

Originally I had thought a sushi party was in order but after getting a response from S along the lines of “Do I actually have to make any?” I decided to forge ahead myself.

I made California rolls, Salmon & Avocado rolls and my favourite Spicy Crab rolls some with avocado. While my sushi might not be the prettiest you’ve ever seen it did taste fantastic. The best bit is now I have all the ingredients at home to make it again! I won’t put the method for making sushi itself but the spicy crab was a winner, very easy to make and very tasty so see below for how to make that filling.

Spicy Crab Sushi

150g fresh crab meat or good quality tinned meat
1 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise (if you can’t get any Japanese mayo, you can use a good quality egg mayonnaise, in that case I would also add ½ tsp of soy sauce)
2 tsp Japanese chilli powder

Combine in a bowl and use as filling for sushi rolls.
