    Very nice bill. I'm actually quite fond of of the stuff. Never thought of doing that and the pics are great! If I'm looking right there is no raw fish in yours right? Never had sake. Whats it like? For a southern redneck biker cowboy I consider myself cultured but not that much! :lol:

    Wow.......not inappropiate at all.............great stuff.......to the last detail of the sake glasses. and to tell you the truth......the lightest & most nourishing post on the forum for a long time.......... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
  • no raw fish in that one. just egged london broil egged asapragus sushi rice and nori [seaweed wrapper] which is actually "algae paper' sake is more a rice beer [no carbonation] as opposed to a rice wine. available in very dry to sweet, cheaper ones are served warm and dryer ones seved cold. however i don't give a ....if it is cold out i heat it and if it is warm i serve it cold. best bet is to go to the store and pick up some gekkeikan
    http://www.gekkeikan-sake.com/
    and experiment. it has alcohol in it how bad could it be.

    Looks mighty appropriate to me Bill! Gorgeous.
    One of my goals after getting settled back into the house is to have sushi making become a regular event. The missuz got me a nice inspirational book for Christmas, and I can't wait to roll up my sleeves. As you have shown, the sky is the limit for possible innards. And the process can easily be combined with various grilling on the egg.

    So...do you use the traditional "hangiri" bowl for mixing and cooling your rice? Or can I easily get along without this item?

    One of my first rolls will involve squid, green onions and chinese mushrooms ...though beef is on the short list after seeing your post! Also wanting to so something with pulled pork along with something green and crunchy.

    Did it take much practice to get those rolls lookin so nice?
    Thanks....and cheers!

    the hangiri is about the only thing i do not have. i just use a large mixing bowl and a small fan [or outside in the cold wind today] works fine just watch for the sheen on your rice as you add the vinegar. not too much practice just cover the bamboo rolling mat with plastic wrap keep the knife and your fingers moist. honestly, just the fact that you tried it is the key.
    check out the NOBU books on amazon .
    for those that do not know ...sushi means 'vinegared rice" it can be made with julieanned cucumber 'kappa maki' cooked shrimp [use skewers to keep it straight ] 'ebi maki" fake crab 'kanni maki' etc it does not have to be raw fish.
    pulled pork on the inside rice on the outside skip the nori and use heated bbq sauce instead of soy to dip. and call it 'redneck sushi' ? sounds good to me.
  • i have books and links when you are ready. the eggs roots are in japanese cooking so why not some japanese drinkng to go with .
    will do yakitori on the egg soon and post pics easy fun and the japanese equivelant of picnic food [hamburgers and hot dogs] been a big hit at the 2 eggfests i have cooked at .

    Are you going to get into Jeff? I think you might. First time I saw peter peppers (thanks SU) was in Arkansas many years ago in a restaurant that showed you you meal before it was cooked. They put the peter peppers in a rice dish as I recall. Hotter than hell! Loved them.

    it's a food pic on a food forum. those are real peppers.

    (i'm not surprised, by the way, that you loved them. not that there's anything wrong with that!)

  • That was just nasty! ;>) Not that it matters here on a food forum. I have some seeds for peter peppers in the freezer. I may start a set a little later in the spring.Maybe make a relish for your Fred's Frank if you're a good boy.
