Seriously? Seriously! Trista!!: One of my all time Favourite FOODS!

If you were to ask me what my favourite food in the whole entire world is, I would probably answer with: SUSHI! I get asked that a lot by my friend's 7 year old. I always have to stop and think about it because there are so many seriously AMAZING foods out there! Now that have moved from the states across the pond, we can't exactly afford to go out to sushi. It's an incredibly special treat when it does happen! In the last 8 months, we have probably only had it out 3 times. They just don't make it the same here! It's still yum, but the portions are tiny and the cost is tripled. I decided the only solution was to make it myself! You can make your very own for soooo much cheaper than they charge you in the shops! And, granted, you are probably partly paying for the atmosphere, but really, it's fun to make it and enjoy from home!

Some of the essential things you need in order to make it:
*Bamboo Mat: a friend of mine gave me my first one because I didn't know where to find one here, but I have since then seen them in kitchen shops and Asian markets for quite cheap, maybe just a couple of £'s.
*White Rice: I just use Basmati rice although I am sure that they have some sort of Japanese rice that I have seen in the market but it seemed to cost way more £s
*Seaweed
*Fish: my personal favourites are tuna and salmon which I find at the fish counter at my local supermarket
Fun Extras!!
*Cucumber
*Avocado
*Spicy Sauce: I LOVE spicy tuna so I have some of my favourite spicy red sauce
*Salad Cress: which I also like to mix up with the spicy tuna mixure
My someday list:
*Eel sauce: I would LOVE to find a recipe for eel sauce! That was another one of my favourites!

I always start with steaming the rice. Then I get all the fish ready: sometimes I use strips of fish and with the spicy tuna, I cut up into chunks and then mix it with the spicy sauce and the salad cress. After the rice is finished, you can spread the rice onto the seaweed (which should be on top of your bamboo mat), add your fish and other bit size pieces of avocado or cucumber (or anything else for that matter) and roll it up!
