Learning how to make ebi sushi. [pic]
 

First attempt at ebi, have made rolls before.

Coming along, need to pick up a pimpin sushi knife and I was thinking of maybe a piece of marble slab to serve on.

Shrimp were fresh not frozen.

Oishii... :)

ADG

Most def. :2 cents:

Had to look that up. :stoned
oishii (い-i declension, hiragana おいしい)
美味しい: delicious, tasty, something that tastes good

Good work. You might try this trick I noticed my guy does. Before he cuts the roll into tasty morsels, he wraps them in plastic wrap so they get real tight, then he slices and removes the wrap. Oh, and soy wrap is so much tastier than seaweed . . . but you probably need a sharper knife with that for sure.

those look pretty good, yum

Thanks for the tip.

Definitely getting a cool sushi knife, this has been a bit of a learning experience.

Got some decent rice [Nishiki].

Had some normal soy sauce that wasn't up to par so grabbed the Kikkoman which seems solid [turns out they brew that stuff like beer, no wonder I can taste the difference].

Sapporo to go with it.

Is the shrimped cooked at all?

Looks good :thumbsup

Yeah bro, fully cooked. It's like sushi for newbz.

Baddog rides this when he goes to GuGu Sushi

Very cool... I always wondered how they cooked the shrimp without it curling up.

LOL, me too until I found that vid. Guy has skills, the back chunk of the shell by the tail he rips off in one fell swoop takes a bit more time for mere mortals.

Totally with you on the Sapporo, but have to lead you away from the soy sauce (although Kikkoman is probably the best of them). Try making sauces. I can ask my guy for some recipes if you want to try it.

:thumbsup

Even people that have not been there, know my favorite sushi place. :1orglaugh

Nice job.

This place can probably help you out materials wise.
marukai.com
They have an e store.

Ganbare, baka gaijin ga! (j/k)

Sure, sounds hella. I know that sushi like most Japanese disciplines is an art that takes years of study. Special techniques or recipes are therefore more than welcome.

I believe that I read you even have a roll dedicated to you?

Thanks Captain Kawaii! :)

They even designed a shirt for me.

I will leave a message for my main man.

Cool shirt, not so much for the wife. =p

It is a one of a kind, but it did not come with a wife, so not sure . . .

Hey those ebi look pretty good! I've been experimenting with rolls this summer and was surprised and how not difficult they were. Pressing lumps of sushi rice looks more fussy, though. Good job!

Just a joke [most girls wouldn't wear a shirt that said tuna].

Thank you for the kind words Elli, I hope to have some elite sushi pics posted up in the next year.

I had sushi today (bought, of course) and I can tell yours looks really tempting :thumbsup

Ah . . . like I said, one of a kind, no chicks will be wearing it. :) It is a play on the Puma logo.

Sick Asian humor I guess. :1orglaugh

I'm out, manana.

Congrats to you. You are a great cook .

Looks delicious :pimp

Looks promising ...

Cute and cool girls - a lots of cum stains missing over those glasses.:)

I love to eat sushi ! :winkwink:

as we're on the sushi thing... what do you eat it with? I'm having a hard time to find a fitting accompaniment and sushi with a salad is boring as hell :(

miso soup is easy to make and literally takes 3 minutes.
spicy cucumber salad is nearly as quick.
wok up some mushrooms and green beans or broccoli in black bean sauce
carrots in oyster sauce

Off the top of my head maybe tempura or Teriyaki chicken if you are really hungry, or Miso as Elli suggested is good.

Miso is nice because it is a hot food and still light, I guess that is why many sushi places serve it while your fish is being prepared.

yep, i'd suggest one of those ultra sharp ceramic blades ;)

Who the hell would eat sushi...

...oh wait. Nevermind.

I've got a great 14yr old domain for a sushi site.

don't like Miso, but will try the other options :thumbsup

Not fair.

My mouth is watering.

My Japanese Mother-In-Law used to wet the knife blade before she made the cut. She said it made the cut smoother.

Looks delicious!

Gu Gu has ruined the sushi experience for many. It is difficult to go elsewhere after trying that.
