Mom's cooking class - Sushi

When the date leaving for BCN is getting closer, I feel I have so many skills to learn. One of the most important skills is cooking. I won' t expect myself to be a chef but I really don't want to eat my survival cooking all the time. So it is time to ask the dear Mom to teach me several meals that is easy to make and great to taste, and Sushi must be the one I want to learn first. Why? Coz I can make several rolls of the Sushi, store them in the refrigerator, and eat them whenever I need. It is even a great choice to be my lunch box.

So I waked up at 7:00am and went to the market with my Mom to pick up some materials, including some snap beans, carrot, and some fried pork flake. Before this early morning shopping, I bought the Japanese sauce and dried lavers. It was a little bit nervous when thinking that I had to eat up all the things even the taste was terrible. But I believed that my dear Mom would not let this tragedy happen. I did what my Mom told me to do step by step with her coaching aside. Rice is the key success factor since it composes most of the Sushi. Make sure the wind blow at the rice when you are mixing the rice with vinegar to make the texture good. Then water boil the snap bean and carrot, and carefully do some omelets. After all the preparation jobs are done, let's start the rolling job. First, put the rice evenly on the dried lavers laying on the bamboo curtain. Then put the fried port flake on the rice. Carrot, snap beans and omelets are tapped on. At last, roll all the staff carefully to make sure everything get into the roll perfectly. Grasp the bamboo curtain tightly to make the shape of the Sushi roll round and compact. Then here the Sushi comes. You can find my Sushi cut into two rolls. Does it look nice? I think so. Does it taste good? You will find out how does it taste later when you are here in BCN to visit me coz this is the must course I will serve you if you visit me in the future.
My first roll of Sushi!!!


Does it look tasty?!

I got to say it is not easy to make your own food but it is really great enjoyment to make food yourself. You will appreciate the food a lot and appreciate your dear Mom a lot. Moreover, you will start to think about doing something more next time. So the next course I am going to learn is one of my Mom's best courses – Lion Head Meat Ball. I will introduce this dish with you next time.
