427. Sushi is such a delight. It is savory flavors coming together on your pallet exploding with surprising nuances. Salty, smooth, cold, crunchy, textures popping with spicy, tangy, toasted, yummy experiences. Some would say "fishy" too but, that depends on the seafood that you use. Of course, raw fish is involved but the health factor far outweighs the off-putting thought of "raw fish". Once I tried sushi, I always walk away satisfied.
We have our favorite rolls and favorite restaurants that serve sushi, but, I decided to make sushi at home. I purchased a sushi kit, which you can find them at William Sonoma online here. And, it comes with instructions that are so easy to follow.
I purchased fresh water salmon and sliced it paper thin, toasted sesame seeds, sliced an avocado, julienned cucumber, sautéed shrimp and cut it into chunks, cream cheese pieces, mango sliced thin, coated onion slices with egg and flour and fried them in hot oil till crispy. I also found black caviar and made sticky rice.
And then we started the process. It took a couple tries accomplishing the rolling and tucking skill, but, we each gave it a go.
