Breakfast Roll
I can’t start my day without breakfast. I get cranky, and lightheaded, and, well, it’s not a pretty picture. For me, breakfast is undoubtedly the most important meal of the day (unlike some other people, who refuse to eat breakfast!) So, since certain people refuse to believe my diet consists of anything other than sushi,
Bulgogi Roll
Son and I love Korean food. He is sure to get the hot tofu soup (extra spicy!), and I never fail to get the bulgogi (BBQ beef). When the waiter comes out with a burning hot plate, the beef is smoking and onions are still sizzling. You can see the sugars in the onions caramelizing,
Beach Grill Maki
Imagine walking along the beach on a bright summer day. The cool salt water rushes in to swirl around your ankles, then races away playfully. A slight breeze brings a whiff of salty ocean air. You hear seagulls squawking all around you. The taste of the briny ocean air is on your lips as you
Mango Tuna Tango
<p>Since I posted here last, two weeks ago, life has been crazy. I went to an amazing dinner for my brother's cancer center where he got honored (I wish I had been able to document the food there! I think that might have been just a little tacky though, so I didn't.), I graduated (yay!), I performed in and helped run a show with my old dance school (busy busy busy!) and
Pepper Tuna Roll
<p>The most wonderful thing happened to me the other day. I took my very last final. Ever. Yes, that's right, I'm finished with school. Graduation is this weekend, and then I never have to be back here, ever! (Unless I really want to. But then it's by choice, not because I have to for my degree.) </p> <p>Unfortunately, that means I will be extremely busy during the next
Guns and Roll
<p>Today, I cannot think of a single thing to write for you. I'm in the middle of finals, so I'm going to blame it on stress and studying. Don't worry, I have a recipe for you, but in lieu of trying to write more about it, I'm going to do another meme that I've been putting off. <a href="http://www.wilsonswordsandpictures.com/">Ellen Wilson</a> splatted me with a <a href="http://www.wilsonswordsandpictures.com/?p=56">meme tomato</a> a month ago (don't
Tuna Cucumber Watermelon
<p>These are cute little tuna appetizers made to look like watermelons. Great for parties, they make perfect finger-food, and are much less work than making a whole bunch of sushi for a party! Not to mention, they are delicious!</p> <p>This recipe has a lot of contrasting flavors. The cool of the cucumber versus the heat of the Siracha sauce. The soft, yielding texture of the tuna, as opposed to the snappy
Jumpin’ Jackfish Roll
You might think the name of this roll is a little weird. Why name it the “Jumpin’ Jackfish Roll”? Well, let me explain. The inclusion of jalapeños and togarashi make the roll more than a little spicy, so it’s definitely “jumpin'”! And as I mentioned in my Yellowtail Nigiri post, yellowtail is actually a type
Orange-Flavored Mochi
<p>Lately, I've really been wanting to participate in more food blogging events, but I've refrained because the don't fit into the theme of Sushi Day, and I don't want too much non-sushi randomness on here. I would love to cook and bake more but, well, I'll save that for when I have a more general food blog. (Which is hopefully coming soon!) However, when I saw the theme for this month's
