Independence Day Sushi Parfait
<p>Happy Independence Day! I hope everyone is having a fun Fourth of July celebration! Well, my American readers anyways. Sorry everyone else. :( Now don't get mad at me, because I <em>know</em> this isn't really sushi, or even that close, but I'm going to post it anyways! Because I can. :D </p>
Cha-Shu Sushi
I grew up with my mom making cha-shu. She would make a big batch for dinner one night and we would eat it with ramen, and then eat it in sandwiches the rest of the week. It wasn’t until I met Son that I ever heard it referred to by the Chinese name – char
Inari Con Gambas Al Ajillo
On Father’s Day, after I was finished making the sushi, my mom made tapas. My sister always requests them, because she went to Spain over spring break on a trip with some of her teachers and classmates from her high school. She’s such the world traveller… plus she got to go to Kenya in middle
Spam Musubi
<p>Spam musubi isn't exactly sushi, although it is very similar. It is a popular Hawaiian snack using spam, regular rice (not sumeshi), and nori. I find it to be really yummy and not too hard to make. The marinated/fried spam tastes almost like unagi, in an odd roundabout way, but trust me, it's good! (Hehe that's to all of you who turn your noses up at the idea of spam
Tropical Maki
<p>A few weeks ago, Son got some pineapple from his mom. We like to use random ingredients like that when we get them, (since we don't get pineapple very often), so we decided to use it in some sushi. Yum yum yum! If you have some pineapple, definitely try this one. Sweet, salty and refreshing, it's a little bite of paradise.</p>
Spicy Tuna Salad Roll
A while back in the comments for the Tuna Salad Sushi, Tanit suggested using Siracha hot sauce in the Tuna Salad sushi. We finally got around to trying it, and although I’m not so fond of it (I’m not a big fan of spicy things, although I am beginning to be able to tolerate wasabi
Sweet Curry Sushi
<p>I tried making a quick and easy curry that didn't use very many ingredients. I intended to make something that tasted like good curry, without all the work. Unfortunately... things don't always go as planned. </p>
Banh Mi Sushi
<p>Banh Mi Sushi is a new favorite of mine. Son and I went to a BBQ yesterday for one of his friends' birthday, and brought this meat and it was a hit! We thought it might taste good in sushi, so we stole one and brought it home... and we were right!</p>
Happy Mother’s Day!
<p>Happy Mother's Day everyone! Spoil your moms today, and if you are a mother then take the day to relax! </p>
