yesterday we decided to try and make sushi on our own because we really love sushi and wanted to be creative. 
 i have to say it´s not hard to make at all and i´m really proud of the outcome:

but there are a few things you have to know when you want to do it yourself:
1. buy real sushi rice (you get that in almost every bigger supermarket, i got mine in an asian shop)
2. cook the rice – but not too long, it will get very paste-like if you do. 
general rule for rice cooking: for every cup of rice (1 per person) two cups of water, cook it until all soaks in.
3. flavor the cooked rice with salt, sugar and rice wine vinegar – try out how much you would like.
4. then don´t be impatient – wait until the rice has cooled out.
5. wet your hands entirely so that it won´t stick as much on your fingers.
6. start filling the nori (black sea stuff) with rice (not too much) and start putting your ingredients on one side – then start rolling!
7. be creative – you can fill or top sushi with almost everything as you can see on the picture above (classics are tuna, salmon, avocado, butterfish, spinage etc.)
over all, we had a really nice dinner with fresh strawberry cream and sushi and of course we couldn´t miss out on the spring rolls, which we didn´t diy btw 🙂

table setting with fortune cookie.
ingredients: strawberry, kiwi, avocado, salmon

filling the nori with rice.

spring rolls – delish.
hopefully?
babe cutting.
looking tired and creepy at its best – doesn´t matter, this post is about food anyways.
i loooooove roasted corn with salt, so yummy!

      nur keine angst, mit den richtigen zutaten und bisschen bastelei schmeckt es wie “echtes” sushi – ganz wichtig, nur nicht zu viel reis nehmen, sonst klebt alles im mund 😉
