Night in: Homemade Sushi

-

Not in the mood to go out and want to save money on buying take out on a night in? 
How about trying to make sushi!
It’s super simple, cheap and easy to make. It is also completely customisable to what you like to eat. Sushi is great and fun meal to prepare for and experience with a date, friends, children or family. Ingredients can be easily substituted and changed to suit dietary requirements such as vegetarian or changed to healthier options such as using brown rice instead or white rice.  

The sushi that was made used short rice with rice vinegar (optional), seaweed, Japanese mayonnaise and chicken.

Tips for making sushi:
-      Fanning rice to cool makes it glossy and sticky
-      Avoid putting rice on one edge so rice doesn’t over spill 
-      If you don’t like the taste of sushi roll the rice on the outside (it masks the flavour) you could even top it with sesame seeds.
-      Water can stick the final edge of the sushi together

All you need to make sushi is rice, seaweed (nori) and any fillings that you like.
Get creative and make yourself some sushi!

I wait 3 minutes for the ingredients to cook before adding 1 tablespoon of pesto paste, 1 table...

Although when on holidays  cooking can be a bother, especially when in a holiday house when you don’t have your normal array of food in the pantry and all the pots and pans are either filthy, broken or the wrong size. You may choose to eat out each night, but that can quickly get expensive and sometimes you just don’t want to go out at all. Here is a list of what I think are the best meals to make on holidays because they are quick, easy and affordable: ·        Curry ·        Pies/fish and chips ·        Beef stroganoff ·        Nachos ·        barbeque All of these meals can be found as a packet mixes from most supermarkets (you can get fish and chips from the supermarket, but it is not as ...
