Homemade California rolls
2 Feb
My mom used to let us make our own California hand rolls for dinner. We would each get a plate with quartered pieces of nori (seaweed), with the vegetables in the middle of the table. Each person could add whatever ingredients they liked, roll it up and chow down. My favorite was always the ripe avocado.
I used to always complain to my mom that it didn’t look the same as it did at restaurants… so I learned to make it myself.
I love all sorts of sushi and sashimi but it’s hard to enjoy without burning a hole in your wallet. While there are cheaper alternatives, I try to stay away from certain establishments. You can never be too careful when it comes to sushi, especially when it’s dirt cheap! I once saw people selling sushi at the back of Le Croissant shop in Queens, NY and ran the other way.
Making California rolls at home is much more cost efficient, considering that you have the major items like sushi rice and seaweed already. But like with most things you do yourself, you’ll get a lot more bang for your buck!
