Bamboo Mat

The bamboo mat is worth investing in if you are getting into making sushi.

You can find them in Japanese and Chinese food shops or via the internet.

I've seen someone using grease proof paper before.

I tried it but it is difficult to control the strength and texture whilst rolling,

Carbohydrate is always a sub character

Yes, even in Sushi.

 Today's post is sushi for very beginners.

Here is sticky rice:

When you make sushi, the rice must be vineger rice, but I will leave it to the intermediate course.
Boil the rice. You can mix with sesame seed, poppy seed, sunflower seed or pine seed, when it is boiled.

Well, have you seen this in UK? This is the seaweed for sushi. You can buy them at the Japanese, Chinese or Korean food shops.

Cut them into four:

And the excitement starts from here. You can prepare anything you want. Avocado, Asparagus, seafood stick, cucumber, scrambled eggs, lettuce, smoked salmon, tuna,  smoked mackerel or prawns, anything you want! 

Place the rice on the seaweed as little as possible  ( otherwise you will be full after eating only a couple of rolls) And put them in any items, any combination.

This is a conventional one (Carlifornia roll? ) with avocado and smoke salmon

And you roll it 

Just with  a little dip of say sauce (only a good quality one!)

You make it as you eat.The point of the diet is to place the rice as little as possible, as you are eating vegetables together with rice.
