Sushi Night

Hubbies going out of town and my bff is coming over for saki & sushi night. So excited. Love me some sushi, but never made it, and must say it's a little intimidating. Just bought these online (jet.com, 15% introductory discount) and got everything for a pretty decent price. Will buy some fresh stuff the night of:

  • Ricer Steamer (already had it)
  • Rice Vinegar (already had it) 
  • Sesame Seeds (already had it)
  • Edamame (already had it) - this is a side dish
  • Sushi rice (small grain, sticky) - I've never bought small grain sushi rice, but if the goal is "sticky", my rice steamer sure makes some sticky basmati rice (which I have plenty of). I'll report back if this sushi rice is all that much different 
  • Bamboo rolling mat
  • Nori (toasted seaweed rolls)
  • Wasabi Paste
  • Pickled Ginger Slices 
  • San-J Shoyu - wheat soy (this is seriously my favorite soy sauce on earth and it's just mild enough for sushi)
  • Mayo (already had it)
  • Sambal Oelek Pepper Sauce (already had it) - another favorite sauce on earth. Recipe for spicy mayo calls for Sriracha but this so SOOOO much better as a substitute
  • Smoked Salmon 
Fresh Ingredients:
  • Avocado 
  • Cucumber Ribbons (already had it)
  • Carrot Ribbons
  • Scallions (fresh from the garden)
  • Roe (maybe)
  • Raw Fish? (Ahi Tuna? or is smoked tuna enough?)
  • Artificial Crab Meat? (california roll?)
  • A few shrimp?
This is a first try, so don't want to go overboard. But it's hard to decide.
