I had the rice cooked, the spam marinated in Teriyaki and the nori waiting.

Still no moulds or bamboo mats, so ... I just couldn't wait and bodged it
with a small silicone sheet!

The rice ... I did the 8,4,1 thing with rice vinegar, sugar and salt and
mixed it with the rice.

D tasted it and said it was good but too strong, so I added some Teriyaki
sauce and he really liked that.

So, you can see what I did. Not perfect I know but it was my first
attempt Oh the stuffing is some of the marinated spam. He loves it so
all is well

https://s9.postimg.org/xwc7ghbcf/DSCN6904.jpg

OK I am awaiting brickbats but so long as they are constructive I will be
happy

Oh btw I think I need a sharper knife to cut them or do I put the roll in
the fridge for a while first?

My then wife and I tried sushi for the first time when we were on
holiday in Hawaii.
Neither of us knew what to expect and from the "shock" of the
experience, when we left the restaurant, we walked off in opposite
directions:-)

- sharp knife
- put the blade in a glass of water like you would for certain cakes
- don't put the roll in the fridge if you can avoid it.
Of course: better that than letting it spoil, but preferably: prepare
it and eat it asap. No problem for a pick-nick or a potluck party, though.

Bye, Sanne.

The mat will help. The good news is that it's not that difficult. Once you get some practice, you'll be rolling like a pro. My aunties used to roll maki sushi. I think it was required of young girls back it the old days. I never saw my mom roll sushi though. She was a different kind of gal.

The bamboo mats are cool. They are very flexible - but only in one tightly controlled direction. I'll have to work on improving my sushi chops too. Thanks for the inspiration.
