Sushi making at Japanese Club

We were told to bring our own...utensils

The rice, filling, dried seaweed and etc will be provided.

We needed:

1. sushi bamboo mat
2. bottle of water (actually just bring one bottle for like the whole class already can)
3. bowl
4. container
5. apron
6. knife
7. chopsticks
8. spoon
9. digital camera (this is up to you la)

-

Bored while waiting for the rice to cook

if you lazy to use the bamboo mat to wrap sushi

buy those plastic containers that readily wrap ur sushi

just by closing the lid

=)

-

I mainly use wood chopsticks but I thought it was unhygienic

And plus I brought an extra for a friend

So its better to use metal ones

-

Finally the rice was done

but we were given a really skimpy proportion

-

She was showing us how much to mix the 'white powder' with the rice

You can buy those packets ones (which they used)

Or you can just use vinegar, salt and sugar

(which I use this cause it seems less artificial)

Just equal amounts of each, mix and taste test.

-

They were teaching us to make Tamago make (egg sushi)

-

Ingredients to make tamago:

1. 1 egg
2. 1/4 teaspoon of salt
3. 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
4. 1 teaspoon of plain flour

Just mix everything and fry it.

Here'e a video of the them teaching us

-

After that, we proceeded with trying to make ours.

Put the rice flat on the dried seaweed

-

And here's our tamago maki

FAIL!!!

we put the egg too close to the end.

-

But anyway, next was making tuna maki

This was just just rolling up plain rice

and putting canned tuna on the top

-

This type of sushi however,

to mold the rice takes months or maybe years to master

Or you can be like me and use plastic moulds =p

-

And all this sushi making made me

in the mood to make bentos for Helmi.

He needs to start eating better wa like seriously

=.=

I don't wanna end up with an overweight guy

with heart, kidney, liver, throat and lung problems

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, my GP teacher has been showing us this documentary

about a guy who has decided to eat McDonald's

for one months for breakfast, lunch and dinner

showing that it is an extremely dangerous diet

In 2 weeks, his liver's state was being compared with an alcoholic's

Should watch it

I give it two thumbs up

My dad said that he's an idiot for putting his life on the line like that

But sometimes...

you gotta be an 'idiot' to be heard
