Hmm,you know...I wouldn't be opposed to sharing within this thread. Especially if it's some thing that you made that night!

mmmm…… that'll be a little tricky, I don't usually have a recipe. But I can remember what I used that night and write it up.

I'm a little OCD about my recipes. I have about three hundred of them, organized by category and rating. Of course, the app does that for me making it easy but I still have to put in the effort.

I use an iPad in the kitchen on a docking station to follow the ingredients and preparation. For the most part I don't need it and just listen to music, but it's good to have for reference.

What app do you use Happy? My wife uses MacGourmet on her MacBook, but I'm sure something for her iPad would be more convenient.

Ken, how is it diff from other sushi?

Why, you think she will take offense? It doesn't have recipes in it. When you buy it, it's completely blank. You have to populate it.

I believe mainly because of the rolls. They added too much western kind of sauce on it like mayonnaise etc etc.....

When you go for sushi, mainly you like to try the sushi.. which is the slice of fish on the sushi rice with some wasabi. The amount of sushi rice cannot be too much and the thickness of the fish has to be proper.

The wasabi, not from the concentrated powder, has to be fresh 'grind' from Wasabi root:


When you taste the sushi, dip the sashimi side into the sauce only, try to avoid soaking the sauce with the rice. And not too much the sauce, just enough is ok.... that's why Japanese taste sushi by hold them with fingers.

However, you will do that in case you are tasting in a very authentic Japanese sushi place, for most of those regular sushi place... what the heck...

Tempura and eel-rice too, these two are easy to make but difficult to master.

Also, one type they call Tamago, a piece of fried-egg on sushi rice. Looks cheap but a good sushi place will make the Tamago silky and smooth, it virtually melts in your mouth, yes, melt, that smooth....

Sushi...

I love it all, whether it's the sashimi or whether it's rolls! I always get the chef's choice so I'm guaranteed something different nearly every time.

Here's the sushi I'm accustomed to getting:
