| | To all my xanga readers....all 2 of you... I've decided to use my xanga as a cooking blog....taking pictures of recipes i attempt and maybe some of my own recipes....this week i made korean seafood pancakes and lettuce wraps....but that was before today so i have no pictures....soooo i'll start with my after work snack i made today:
Cucumber Sushi Rolls:
mm mmm mmmmm....healthy aaannd delicious =) I saw this on a korean food blog My Korean Kitchen, but i used soy bean salad dressing instead of mayo...and i made more than just for one person...
Ingredients (for 2 ppl)
2 cucumbers peeled
4 sticks of crab meat
1 can 6 oz tuna (optional)
Soy salad dressing (yuummy! i dont think its any healthier than reg dressing...it just sounds healthy)
Short grain rice (Japanese rice)
3 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp sugar
some salt
First i peeled the cucumbers
Then i used the vegetable peeler to make thin slices....easy peasy...except for then i got to the middle where all the seeds and jellyish stuff are....soo i just used the outside part....
no wait first i made the rice....cook 2 cups of rice in the rice cooker.
ok theeen shred some crab meat, place it in a bowl, open a can of tuna, i put half the can of tuna cuz i dont really like tuna that much....
then put in a dollop of soy bean salad dressing (about 2 tbsp), mix it around...
Wait for the rice to finish cooking....when its done open it and mix it around to fluff it...then leave it open to cool it (5 minutes)
then on the stove put in the vinegar and sugar on mid-high heat...until all the sugar is melted
After the rice has cooled down a bit...slowly sprinkle in the vinegar and sugar mixture while mixing the rice until the rice gets kinda shiny....you might not use all of the vinegar sugar mixture.
theeenn get a bowl of cold water for you to dip your hands in while your making the sushis, cuz youre hands arnt wet the rice sticks to you when youre trying to work with it.
dip your hands in cold water, grab some rice (maybe 3/4 inch in diameter) squoosh it into a ball, then place it on one end of a cucumber peel, and wrap it up.
put the roll upright and standing, and then smoosh the rice down a little so it reaches the sides and the bottom...then scoop some crab meat tuna mixture and place it inside that hole...
and there you have it......a yummy snack =)
every once in a while i'll talk about work or something...but generally i have nothing to talk about hehe....
