I decided to get brave and try making sushi at home after having been to a sushi party at a friend’s house.  I was able to get a lesson in making a roll as well as good advice on purchasing the fish and making the rice.

I picked up the equipment I needed this week such as the bamboo mat for making rolls.

The process definitely gets easier once you’ve made a couple rolls. I’m sure it’s like any skill. It must be practiced and honed to get it right.

Between the wasabi and the radish sprouts in this roll it was REALLY spicy. Clears out the sinuses, that’s for sure.

Of course since I’ve never done this before I had no idea how much to make. Yeah…I definitely made way more than we could eat.

We called up the neighbor to help us eat some.  I’ll certainly try it again but will make much less and try some other ingredients for fillings.
