We had sushi for lunch and dinner today. It was absolutely delicious! And it was actually my first time making rolled sushi with a bamboo mat – took me a couple of tries before I managed to get the hang of it. What do you think? Not too shabby for an amateur, right? :D
Nori (roasted seaweed) sheets
Sushi rice
Cooked shrimp (I just sauté them plain, without oil in a nonstick pan)
Avocado, sliced into thin strips and coated with lemon juice to prevent browning
Roasted sesame seeds
Refer to an Allrecipes website on how to make rolled sushi.
The Sushi looks wonderful! Good enough to eat. You are so brave. I don’t think I’d ever contemplate making Sushi. Has to be challenging.

Thanks, Mom! :D It was not too challenging (surprisingly). Can be a little time-consuming prepping the ingredients for the filling though, especially when doing multiple fillings.
Wow! You made your own sushi!! I’m impressed :-) The last time I made these, was when I was at my Mum’s kitchen in Kuching many moons ago. That time, I had my 2 other sisters helping out, hence, was not doing it alone :-) I’ve been thinking to make these for a long time, but haven’t got around to rolling up any yet. It’s just a matter of time. What a lame excuse, eh?
Not a lame excuse. :D I put if off for a long time myself, thinking that it’s too hard to make but it’s actually not bad at all. The results are pretty comparable to those from a restaurant (but much cheaper) and so much more delicious than the mass-produced ones from the grocery store. :D
Beautiful! The American one is cute.
Thanks, Bonnie! :D Miss you guys…will call you to set a time to get together. :D
