What if you have never cooked sushi, and friends who love them very much come to visit? Of course, you can offer them dumplings and baked goose, but I decided to try myself in Japanese cuisine. See what came of it and how much it cost me. I, when I counted... In general, in order.
Of course, to begin with, I watched several videos, decided that I would cook Philadelphia rolls (they seemed to me quite simple) and ran to the grocery store.
It's only been 3 hours... (during this time would have time to bake a goose 😀).
The first problem I ran into was rice vinegar. It turns out that it is not sold everywhere... But I found it. 249 r bottle of 500 ml. And why do I need so much vinegar now... I used just a tablespoon.
And fresh salmon... Here's where to get it? I bought what was - lightly salted salmon 300 g for 425 rubles. I cut it as I could:
I took rice for sushi (to make sure it worked out) for 119 rubles. (250 g). I cooked it according to the instructions. I added a spoonful of vinegar and mixed.
Nori seaweed - 560 (!) Rubles. The packaging is "profitable", as I was told - 50 sheets. But why do I need so much? I need two pieces of paper. In general, I took it - without options.
She also took a mat, cream cheese, and a fresh cucumber. In general, I "kept within" 1577 rubles and at 5 o'clock... I don’t know how to estimate - a lot or a little. Write what you think in the comments))
According to the instructions, I put half a nori sheet on the mat, rice on top, then cheese, cucumber. It remains to wrap - everything is simple! Especially if this is the first time you come across this 😀
But I did it. SOMETHING 😁 I cut it, tried it. Ugly, but edible. Already good.
But 18 pieces of rolls for 6 people is somehow not enough... And I don't have time to bake the goose. And you need to do something)) I called my husband for help. He did not think for a long time:"delivery of sushi and rolls"
We ordered it immediately. Half an hour later I had an order (despite traffic jams and frost)! The package contained everything you need - both soy sauce and sticks (which, by the way, I completely forgot about 😀).
A lot in total - as many as 72 pieces! And the weight is as much as 1810 g! Plus an additional portion for 179 rubles as a gift. Everything was prepared, delivered free of charge, and for all this we paid only 1271 rubles. That's why, tell me, I spent half a day and a lot of money, if you could just call and place an order... Both cheaper and easier. Tasty and everyone is happy))
