Sushi Making pt.2

Here are some pics of the sushi we made. We made mainly California rolls because that's really all we had and we all love California rolls. we figured "eh. why not?"

trying to get a shot w/ our first sushi roll

first one made by me

 this was the only piece of sushi from the first roll that was saved from the carnage since we ate them as we made them; I decorated the plate w/ Sriracha, cucumber, krab, and spicy mayonnaise

these were saved from the second roll, rolled by my sister

sis rolling sushi

after we roll; it's so pretty :D

I also made some bacon sushi. I'm going to try and find the pic of it. I don't know if I got one, but it was delicious. Who knew bacon was good in sushi? IDK, but it really is. I'll have to make sushi for my buddies when I get home. :) It's difficult to get the right amount of ingredients needed. You can't fill it up with too much rice; you have to make it as thin as possible, but you can't make it too thin because then you have left over seaweed and it doesn't stick very well but then you can't overload it with stuff because it won't roll. You want to get the minimum of rice and the maximum of fillings. And you have to leave some seaweed free at the top so that you can wrap it. I think where we really failed was making the rice. You wouldn't think it would be hard, but it was. It took the longest, it was painstaking and tedious and we burned them hell out of it. Seasoning seemed to go fairly well but we screwed up on the cooking part so then we did the steps wrong the rest of the time It was just a bit of a mess. Still, it was really fun.

Making sushi w/ my sister

That's an avocado in her hand.

I'm going to post more pictures of sushi we made later. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be but it wasn't easy.

Korean Food

So, in case you didn't know, I really like Korean food. It is really good!! Bibimbap and Dokboki are some of my favorites! My mom, however, does not like Korean food and it upset her stomach. Something about it being too spicy XD Anyways, culturally, they always talk to the man or the old person and I was the only man and my granny was the only old person but my mm really likes to run the show. She's a leader, not a follower. The waitresses (when we went today for lunch) only addressed me or my granny unless my mom spoke to them. I tried to warn my mom about it but, thankfully, she didn't seem to notice or to take offense. Anyways, I said anyongnaseo when I walked out and enjoyed the look on their faces as all the Korean families and Korean waitresses all stared at me in shock like "Wow! An American twink just said good bye in Korean!!!" It was fun. It was really delicious too and now I have a ton of Korean food left over in the fridge which makes me even happier. Who's having Korean for the next day or two? I AM!!!!!!!!!!
