Makin’ Maki Sushi Round Up!

August 25, 2008 · WCC Administr@tr · 12 Comments

maki2-7224313I am a big sushi lover… I’m talking BIG! I could eat sushi every.single.day if it weren’t for how my body has a love/hate relationship with carbs. However, today I indulged in sushi and had friends come over to learn how to make maki rolls. For my sushi event, I prepped all the ingredients for our maki rolls. Some ingredients I offered included:

carrots, yellow pickled radish, cucumber, red & green bell pepper, mushrooms…

    I so wish I lived in your neck of the woods so I could come to your gatherings–this one especially. I have yet to try my hand at sushi, but I feel the day is drawing near….

    I haven’t had red bean ice cream in far too long. Everything else looks great too!

    Wow! Great Japanese meal you had. I will look for the Azuki ice cream, or make one if I’m not able to!:)

    I have always wanted to try making my own sushi. We even got some sushi dishes and chopsticks for our wedding 3 years ago that have only been used for sushi take-out… you have inspired me to set up a time with friends to try our hand at making sushi ourselves!
