Here's my first go at making sushi, I made mini rolls with a bit of ginger/soy flavoured tuna(Trident Tuna Asian Delights Range, very very good for when you are sick of boring tuna. I really the
teriaki flavoured one) in the middle and Some molded rice balls flavoured with shrimp
Furikake (Flavoured sprinkles to jazz up rice.) I used a bit too much rice in the sushi, and yeah I could have made the tuna look better by taking more care in the placement, but it was YUM!
The
Onigiri was also
delish. In fact it was 10% tastier due to being heart shaped. I think I will use more
furikake next time cause
that's damn
tasty too!
The rice molds are super easy to use and are only $3.50. I got a set that makes three different shapes, but I didn't want to completely overload on rice for lunch so I only made two. The
Japanese store in
Wairau (set of
asian shops behind the Burger King) sells a whole range of them, very affordable and very fun.
I have been hugely inspired to create
Bento Style lunches for myself and so today and tomorrow I'll be trying out the techniques so I can have some Cute lunches next week. Of course it require such
Japanese type things such as patience, dexterity and skills to create a really great
Bento. So I'll just have to settle for kinda good.
