Things We Like

Typing this while waiting for the arrival of thesilenttiger. She left me alone at home while she travel lovingly with her other half in the city of civilization. *cue home alone movie soundtrack, or maybe sad violin song?*

Well, this post is loooooonnnnggg overdue, due to none other than.................procrastination. Hello? it's holiday yo, I have thousands of pla...........nah, I don't have any, except for eat, sleep and shit, and of course, making some delicious, yummy in my tummy food!

So today, we are going to introduce you guys inside out sushi roll!

and here's a video tutorial!

Ingredients:

1 cup rice

1 cup water

2 1/2 tbsp sushi vinegar

3/4 cup tuna

3 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tsp sugar

1 1/2 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp worcestershire sauce

1/2 cucumber

1/2 carrot

2 pcs nori sheet

sesame seeds (for sprinkle)

1. Add the rice into a bowl and add a cup of water into the bowl.

2. Shake to even out the water.

3. Place the rice into a steamer and cook for 20 minutes on medium heat.

4. While the rice is cooking, you can start preparing the filling. Place the mayonnaise into a bowl and add in the sugar, sesame oil, worcestershire sauce and stir well. You can also spice it up with some cyan pepper if you want.
5. Add in the tuna and mix well.
6. Leave this in the refrigerator and you can prepare the vegetables.

7. Cut up the cucumber half and then half, and slice them into 3 strips.
8. Slice the carrots using peeler for thinner slice, or you could use a grater instead.
9. Pour the prepared vinegar into steamed rice and mix well.
10. Wrap a layer of clinging wrap over the sushi mat (to prevent sushi rice from sticking onto the mat during the process of flipping over, yes, we are flipping over the rice) and bend over the sides of the clinging wrap.
11. Place a sheet of nori sheet on top and spread the rice evenly, make sure to fill the rice up till the edges of the sheet,
12. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
13. Gently lift up the sushi and flip it over.
14. Spread the tuna at one edge and add in vegetables.
15. Carefully roll the sushi and press firmly to secure the fillings.
16. Slice the sushi to about 3 cm thick with a wet knife, to prevent the rice sticking onto it.

The picture above is definitely not the egg sushi you normally buy out there/ see from the internet. We were just experimenting to see if we can successfully roll the egg in an egg pan, but we failed. The egg should be rolled the other way round, like this

Yeah, go ahead, laugh all you want. *Sulks*

On an unrelated note, have you ever had the thought that how nice it would be, if you wake up to a warm and nicely laid out breakfast, everyday? Bliss?

I must have done a lot of good deeds and collected karma points to receive this hospitality from thesilenttiger in this life. Now I shall keep collecting points so I get to upgrade to presidential-suite-butler-service from her in my next life.

Sometimes, she creates all these cute coffee art, and your morning grogginess get swept away in that very instance, and you will go "aaaaawwwwwwww.......!"

The milk foam was so thick that I can actually touch its ears and it didn't even move a bit! So it stayed till the bottom of the cup, and looked up to me, like it was comfortably covered with a warm, fluffy, white blanket. *pokes pokes*

Now I should be expecting this for my breakfast tomorrow, shouldn't I?
