oSuShi!!

Last Saturday, i went to my teacher's house, Yoshida Sensei along with 3 other friends to learn how to make sushi. In short, it was tough the way Japanese do it. Lots of steps that can get pretty complicated.
Let's see, the essence of sushi, is the rice! Must never ever get it wrong. How to cook, mixture of vinegar and sugar and etc, etc.. So we were poor people, so we didn't use any expensive fish like tuna or salmon even for that matter but i realised it goes well with squid too! and, yoshida did have a bit of squid sashimi which really rocks! I really wanted to make nigiri sushi and i tried. She taught us how to make it. And trust me , it's damn hard. Lots of experience and practice needed to not master, but be able to do a decent one. Press to hard and the sushi becomes hard, too soft and the whole thing might break apart. Making makis or sushi rolls on the other hand was simple but tasted really really good( Kelly it's not my fault you weren't in hostel on Saturday. who asked you to go back home:P) Other than the rice, making egg rolls too seemed like a challenge!! Too hard to explaain it here without pictures but it basically consists of rolling thin layers of eggs.(duH right?) Really had fun that day and made so much sushi till i was bloated! 5 of us could not finish eating 1 kilo of sushi.
In conclusion. this cooking exercise was a huge success. The four of us have agreed to open a stall , if the hostel hosts the entreprenuership carnival like it did last year. Gonna earn $$$$, hopefully anyway. It ain't expensive if you use the right stuff! That's all for now..
Next issue: Suiicide or maybe what's wrong with a guy and a girl just being friends?!( Kelly, u know what i'm talking about here!)
