Maggie MealTime does Sushi!

I feel ashamed that a. it has taken me this long to make sushi when I love it so, and b. that I lived on a peninsula (Virginia's Eastern Shore/Delmarva) all summer long with fresh seafood and still didn't make it... UNTIL NOW!!!


 dried seaweed sheet.


 spread the rice with wooden spatula.


Add your fillings. I used crabmeat, boiled asparagus, and cream cheese. I also sprinkled the rice with garlic sesame seeds and bamboo roasted black sesame seeds.


 Roll with sushi mat!


 Slice.


 Get some soy sauce and prepared wasabi, and ENJOY!!!


Rice Recipe:
Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice in a bowl until water is clear. Add to medium saucepan of boiling water. Cover and reduce to simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Add rice to large mixing bowl. Add 2 T rice vinegar, 2 T sugar, and 1/2 T salt. Mix and let cool. It should be sticky!!!
