    sushirolls.jpg

    Ingredients:

    14 ounces (400milliliters) sushi rice
    16 ounces (450milliliters) water
    6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
    2 tablespoons sugar
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 pack of nori seaweed sheets, halved
    Pickled ginger
    Wasabi
    Soy sauce

    For the fillings:
    Spring onions
    Enoki mushrooms
    Raw salmon
    Raw tuna
    Cucumber

    Method

    Wash the rice well and drain. Cover with the measured
    water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 12
    minutes then leave to sit for 5 minutes with the lid on.
    Meanwhile, heat the vinegar, sugar, and salt until
    dissolved then leave to cool. Turn the cooked rice
    out onto a flat tray to cool. When cool, place in a
    bowl, stir in the vinegar solution, and mix with a
    wooden spoon.
    Lay half a sheet of nori seaweed onto a rolling mat.
    Dip your hand in cold water and quickly place a
    handful of rice in a line along the seaweed. Flatten
    out with your fingertips using the water to stop any
    sticking. The key is to do this quickly. The rice
    should cover half the width of the sheet so now you
    can place your combo of filling in the middle of the
    rice. Use the mat to roll up the sushi roll, pinch
    and squeeze the mat to shape it into a round cigar
    shape. Practice makes perfect!
    Slice into inch-thick rolls with a sharp knife, turn
    onto their sides so the rice is facing upwards, and
    serve with the pickled ginger and wasabi mixed with
    soy sauce.

    Ingredients:

    4−6 Cups vegetable oil (in fryer)
    1 package Pillsbury apple or cherry turnovers
    (Find them in the refrigerated section)

     Method

    1. Unroll the Pillsbury turnover dough. You will have six 3″x3″
    pieces. You will use four of them. Stretch them out to about 4″x5″
    rectangles. Do this on waxed paper.
    2. Spread 1/2 of the pie filling on one dough, and the other half on
    another, leaving about 1/2″ of dough around edges. Clear a 3/4″ space
    lengthwise down the middle of both.
    3. Place the remaining two doughs on top of the two with the filling.
    Crimp the edges. You’ll have what looks like two giant pop−tarts.
    4. Cut both of them precisely down the middle, in that 3/4″ space you
    created. Crimp those two edges.
    5. Manipulate as needed to form an attractive, uniform shaped pie.
    They should look like small burritos, only crimped around the edges.
    6. Place all four, flat on waxed paper, in the freezer. After about
    45 minutes, spray all sides of each pie with water mist. Return to
    the freezer for at least another hour.
    7. Place in a freezer bag and seal for future use, or get ready to
    deep−fry them.
