too much wasabi · Feb 19, 08:20 pm
i love sushi.
i’m a fan of whatever form; maki, sushi, sashimi – and one way i enjoy it on a regular basis is making it at home. sushi is easy to make, and if you pick up a book you can learn everything you need to know.
there is something about making sushi that makes me feel grown up while also providing that comfort food feeling. as a youngster growing up in northern canada sushi seemed a very exotic dish. the first time i tried it i felt daring and cosmopolitan.
since that first encounter i’ve grown to love preparing and consuming sushi, and when i make it at home i enjoy the experience of chopping, fanning and rolling as much as eating.
however, i have one problem. as the title suggests, i always end up with too much wasabi in some of the rolls and my wife and i take turns contorting our faces as the tiny fist of the green japanese horseradish punch us between the eyes.
you’d think after a few times weeping and giggling over wasabi excess in my sushi i’d learn. last evening was proof i’m just not that clever.
check this book out if you’d like to try sushi yourself.
beware the little green radish though… start off small.
