Simple Sushi Recipe

[futuresoptions]

Had been bummed a little... didn't know what to make for dinner, was craving sushi but didn't have the seaweed wrappers or any seafood in the house to add to the mix... so I put on my thinking cap and came up with a really easy recipe that absolutely got devoured by the crew.... it goes a little something like this...


make a big pot of rice.... 60% will be for the sushi, the other 40% I chilled for fried rice....


when rice is cooking take the cheapest cuts of steak that you have and add a little sesame oil to a pan... add just a touch of salt or meat tenderizer to the steaks nothing else....

fry them until they are well done... once done, remove any bones and cut into chunks.... add them to food processor and shred the meat....

once rice is done divide it and put the fried rice rice in the freezer to chill...

the rice for the sushi, I put in a large plastic bowl and add about 1/8 cup of sugar and drizzle rice wine vinegar all over the top of the rice.... then I fold the rice on itself to mix the sugar and vinegar... I then cover the bowl and let it sit for about 10-15mins...

While the rice is sitting I finely chop up a bunch of fresh cilantro stems and all and set them aside....

once the rice has set, I add my shredded steak and my cilantro.... mix well and then start grabbing and compressing this mixture into little "bricks" and place them on a serving platter....

Once they are all made put them in the freezer to chill..

you should have already put some soy sauce in a bowl with wasabe added to chill as well...

during this time I make my fried rice... once the fried rice is done I turn off the heat and leave it covered for another 10-15mins giving the sushi a little more time to chill...

once chilled, enjoy!!! sounds weird for a sushi recipe, but let me tell you... it is easy to prepare (anyone can do it) and the taste is absolutely awesome.... (the family demanded that I make it two nights in a row)

I had made a homemade sweet & sour chili sauce prior to the rice so that it would have time to chill (my family likes it on their fried rice) I can add that recipe as well if you would like... Try it and tell me what you think....

Homemade sweet & sour chili sauce recipe....

Make a batch and keep it in a mason jar or something in the fridge.... the longer it sits the more robust the chili flavor is....


anyways, take a small sauce pan and add about a cup and a half to two cups of water (I never use recipes, I just do it by touch)

once the water starts to boil, turn it down on lowest setting....

add about 1/4 cup of vinegar

two to three tbsp of ketchup

1/3 cup of sugar or more if you want it sweeter...

2-3 tbsp of finely chopped pickled ginger

a touch of salt

1/2 to 1 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes (depending on how spicy you want it)

mix it all up well in the pot...

in a coffee cup add about 3 tbsp of corn starch and fill coffee cup up half way with water mix this up and pour into you pot...

keep stirring until it thickens a bit and then take it off and put it into a bowl to cool down a little... once cooled a little, put it into your container of choice... personally, we use one of those red ketchup/picnic squeeze bottles like the dinners use to use.... works great..

Enjoy!!!

My sushi recipe involves only a $50 bill and a quart of gasoline.

If you add the rice vinegar, sugar and salt to the water when you cook the rice, it comes out as a reasonable substitute for sushi rice, with less work.

cilantro is nasty to me
