I changed it a little bit. I put the avocado layer on top of the rice, and the crab mixture on top of the avocado. I mixed the krabmeat with the mayonaise, divided this mixture in half and added a tablespoon or two to half of this mixture to make it spicy. I left out the honey and the sesame oil. I layered everything in a pie plate, making one half the spicy side and the other half the mild side. I sprinkled it with sliced green onions and the sesame seeds. I intended on sprinkling some chopped seedless cucumber on top, but my cuke had seen better days when I examined it. Served this with nori sheets for people to roll their own. We loved this! I also made some spicy tuna rolls, and I think next time I will do the same presentation with the tuna also. Thanks for such an easy way to serve sushi. I served the sushi with hot and sour soup and spicy soybeans.

I was just looking at the recipe directions again, it says to mix all ingredients, and also to layer the ingredients. I layered them. Do you usually mix it all together or layer it?

Spicy Soybeans

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

1 pound soybeans1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon hondashi*

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

4 cloves garlic -- minced

Red pepper flakes and salt to taste *Hondashi is a Japanese bonito(fish)- flavored powdered soup base. If it's not available, try using the soup packet powder from a package of dried ramen. I'd probably use less than a teaspoon, though. Cook soybeans according to package directions, drain and set aside. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, hondashi and sugar. In a large skillet, heat sesame oil. Add minced garlic, and saute briefly. Add soy sauce mixture, then add soybeans. Saute until dark golden brown. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and salt to taste. Enjoy!

Hi Dawn - glad you liked it! It makes life sooo much easier if everyone rolls their own!

It's so much fun too smileys/smile.gif

If you use a half sheet of nori (measures 4" x 8" or so), you can make temaki (hand rolls - "te" means hand, "maki" refers to the roll). My hand rolls are not as nice as the ones our sushi chef friend makes, and we have to keep eating more, if only to perfect our technique!

I suppose rolling a hand roll is kinda the same as rolling a parchment paper cone for icing - you just have to remember not to overstuff the nori with the filling ingredients!

Otherwise, if you find those little Korean seasoned nori (2"x3"), I just put a little scoop of filling, and kinda fold it in half.

As far as assembling, I layer. The mixing part refers only to the Layer 3 ingredients (mayo, sesame seeds, sesame oil, honey and crab).

And you can layer in whatever order you like, with whatever fillings you like smileys/smile.gif

So you have nice sashimi grade tuna over there in MO??!?

Sounds like you had a wonderful dinner! Have you posted your hor sour soup? I loove hot sour soup...

 
Okay, so I was going crazy trying to find where I posted this - it was at Neneer's!

I thought the formatting of the recipe looked a little weird, so I thought I'd dig up the original. I searched here, them searched Epi, and finally, after a lot of time searching, I remembered neneer's A Place at the Table smileys/smile.gif

The other day, I needed a quickie dish to take to a friend's house, and this fit the bill. It's not a super authentic one, but it was enjoyed by all.

I didn't have the time to roll out sushi, so I just layered the ingredients in a nice baking dish, and everyone rolled their own smileys/smile.gif

Layer 1
Freshly cooked short grain rice (I used 3 "rice cooker" cups of raw rice, I think this makes about 4 1/2 cups of cooked rice)

Sushi Vinegar - stir together and nuke for a minute to melt the sugar:
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt

Pour the sushi vinegar over the hot rice, and stir until the liquid evaporates a little, and rice becomes shiny and sticky.

Layer 2
Nori goma furikake (optional)
Sprinkle rice with furikake

Layer 3
10 oz crab (I used imitation crab, shredded)
1/2 cup mayonaise
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons roasted sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Mix all ingredients except crab, until well mixed; fold in crab.

Layer 4
1 small, ripe avocado, very thinly sliced

Layer 5 (optional)
Tobiko (flying fish eggs - tiny, orange, and crunchy)

Other ingredients
6 pkgs seasoned Korean nori (usually sold in packs of three, with each sheet measuring about 2" x 3"?)

Layer ingredients in nice serving dish (I used an Emile Henry rectangular baking dish, about 12" x 8")

Diners take a sheet of nori, and place a small spoonful of the sushi mixture in the middle, and roll it up. Dip in soy sauce, if desired.

Enjoy!

Here you go Sandi.

the first one is my adaptation of the original posted below my version. I like my hot and sour soup very brothy and with no cornstarch. I am freezing some to see how it freezes. I would love to be able to make up a big batch of this and freeze it, so when I am craving it, I can just defrost some. There is one market where I am able to buy previously frozen sashimi grade tuna. They also sell sushi (they are the ones who sold me a huge pack of half-sheet nori for about $5) but I like mine better. They also have fresh hamachi and salmon, but I have no idea where they get it. I guess I will have to ask them.

NOTES : nutdoc's note: This is my family's very favorite soup! It taste just like take-out! It's quick and easy. I have been making it for years. Have a cold? Forget that plain old chicken soup! ***IMPORTANT TIP*** I suggest making this soup a day or two ahead to let the vegetables and tofu marinate! Then just heat and serve. Enjoy!

Sandi,

I made a triple batch of this over the weekend, and froze it. It froze perfectly and I just had some for breakfast, yum! I did not put tofu or cornstarch in it, and I forgot to add the eggs, but you could do that at the last minute anyway.
