Sushi

Kon'nichiwa! We are flying over to Japan to make a dish that has become the latest food craze: sushi. This sophisticated, yet simple dish will impress all your friends, or if you're anything like Yvette, you will gobble it all up before they get a chance to try it!



Sushi



You will need:
-sushi rice/short grain white rice (you can buy the special kind like in this picture but the generic kind in bulk works the same!)
-sushi vinegar (you can use rice vinegar and add sugar/salt but this is easiest)
-toasted seaweed
-avocado
-cucumber
-*bamboo mat (not necessary but makes it easier, and more professional!)


1. Cook the rice! Sushi rice is generally a little stickier than normal rice. After it's done, let it cool down, and mix in some sushi vinegar to taste.


2. Slice the cucumber into thin strips and cut the avocado.


3. Spread a layer of rice onto the seaweed and add your toppings, in this case avocado and cucumber.


4. Roll it up!


5. Here's where the bamboo mat comes in handy. Make your sushi more firm by rolling it up and squeezing the roll. Cut it into pieces and you are done!
