Snoball Maki
<p>This is another roll from <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/10/04/mobo-sushi/">Mobo Sushi</a>. We weren't able to try this while we were there, but we grabbed a take-out copy of the menu and decided to make this at home. This was an interesting roll. Use just a little bit of coconut, or it will overwhelm the roll. Also, Son says it needed to be a little saltier (but of course, he pours salt on everything,
Flying Tiger
<p>This is one of the rolls that I tried at <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/10/04/mobo-sushi/">Mobo Sushi</a>. Even though I didn't particularly like it when I ate the Flying Tiger at Mobo Sushi, it sounded like it should have been really good! So I decided to make it at home. </p>
Spicy Tempura Roll
<p>I just love how the red pepper in the mayonnaise gives a little kick to the taste of the sushi. There really isn't anything to not like about this, if you like spicy tastes. If you don't, then just adjust the amount of red pepper powder to however you like it.</p>
Bacon Crunchy Shrimp Roll
<p>This is very similar to the original <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2006/11/04/crunchy-shrimp-roll/">Crunchy Shrimp Roll</a>... but with bacon! Because bacon makes everything better. :P If you liked the original Crunchy Shrimp Roll and you like bacon, then you are gonna <em>love</em> this one!</p>
Jack-Fruity-Tooty Sushi
Whenever Son visits his parents, his mom sends a bunch of food and fruit back with him. Recently, she sent a bag of jackfruit. I had never tried jackfruit before, so Son made me try some. It’s pretty good! It tastes similar to mango (I think), but not quite as sweet. Anyways, I had recently
Kristen Maki
A couple of months ago, my little sister, Kristen, left a comment on Crunchy Shrimp Roll requesting a roll with bacon, green onion, avocado and mozzarella cheese. So a week or two ago, I had all the ingredients so I decided to try it. It is really good! (Of course, any roll with bacon is
Prosciutto and Arugula Cones
<p>A few weeks ago, Son went to dinner at <a href="http://www.icugini.com/">I Cugini</a> in Santa Monica with a bunch of his coworkers who were in Southern California for the week. One of them was unable to finish her Pizza di Prosciutto, and since she was staying in a hotel she gave it to Son. He brought it home for me to try. I loved it... and thought that it would be great
Stuffed Somen Salad
Every year the weekend of Thanksgiving, my Japanese great aunts throw a huge Christmas party. The entire family is invited, so it’s a huge day of craziness, fun, and tons of really good Japanese food. I have fond memories of eating sushi and somen salad (somen is a type of Japanese noodle) and watching while
Southwestern Sushi
<p>The Southwestern Sushi is a great way to introduce those who refuse to eat sushi to the taste and idea of eating fillings with rice and nori. It tastes similar to a roast beef sandwich, but much much better!</p>
