Sushi-making Day!!
Hehehe, I woke up at around 7.40am in the morning today to prepare myself...Christine and me had already agreed to meet up at 9am at Suntec's Carrefour to shop for ingredients in making sushi...This is my very first time in attempting to make sushi, I also promised Laogong that I'll bring some home for him to eat...
I reached Suntec at about 9.30am, met up with Christine and then sat at the foodcourt till 10am before we went up to Carrefour...We took a big trolley with us and began searching for the various ingredients...Christine and I spent an hour gathering all the japanese foods then went off in Christine's car to go back to her house...
Upon reaching Christine's house, we started to prepare the necessary ingredients immediately...I cooked the sushi rice first while Christine prepared the salmon fish and tofu, soon after Christine's maid also came to help us out a little...After that I began snipping the seaweed then continued to cook the miso soup and Christine went on to cut up the shitake mushrooms and soft tofu...(The soup was delicious!!) Next, I moved on to cutting up the cucumbers and honestly speaking, I hated doing the peeling and cutting and seeding..In the end, Christine's maid helped me out...whew!!
All was finally done and ready for wrapping and all at about 12noon...Christine was the first to create a maki...hahaha...It was also her first time in making sushi!! We had some difficulties in cutting up the sushi but managed to improve more when we've got the hang of it...It was really fun!! I also tried out the inside-out maki roll with black sesame seeds and prawn-roe sprinkled on the outside...Christine and I were more occupied with sushi-making rather than eating, lol...
The whole afternoon was really well-spent and very meaningful for me cuz it was a special time that I've never tried such things before...hehehe...Hope that Christine would be free again and I could meet her up for more interesting DIY cooking...(^o^)
