Every New Year’s Eve my family gets together for a themed dinner party. We start eating around six and have a new dish every half hour or so until midnight. It’s a lot of food but with small portions and lots of practice we’ve learned to get through it. 😉
This year‘s theme was Fancy Fast Food. My most proud contribution this year was “takeout sushi”. I made it fancy by making the most complicated role I’ve ever done, and by making pretty, edible “takeout containers”. Itadekimasu!
I had a hankering for sushi today, but not all the ingredients. What I did have, made for some yummy sort of sushi-esque hand rolls. My (probably obvious to everyone but me) tip of the day, is when checking to see how fresh the powdered wasabi is… don’t stick your nose right in the jar and take a big sniff. Enough said.
Leftover quinoa topped with avocado slices, pre-cooked baby shrimp and mayonnaise, all wrapped up in a sheet of nori. Served with a side of soy sauce and wasabi… for dipping… not sniffing.
