I was just too exhausted to join my family for dinner just now. I should've just pried open my eyes and saved my stomach from growling instead of lying around on the bed like a pig rolling in mud! I don't even mind wearing my pyjamas there (which I don't know where exactly is "there")! Sigh, just thinking about the sushi sis and I made this morning really makes my mouth water...
The ingredients.
Some Japanese rice.
Japanese soy sauce.
All time favourite - NOT - wasabi.
Sushi seasoning (tastes sour - something like vinegar).
If you're a first timer (like us), an instruction booklet on how to make your own sushi would come in handy.
The must-have makisu mat aka the bamboo-strips rolling-mat.
And of course, SEAWEED!Before we started, we prepared some ingredients like tuna, mushrooms (IDK what my sister was thinking, choosing mushrooms *shakes head*), cucumbers and eggs. LOL.
The stuff.After mixing the steaming hot rice with a few teaspoons of sushi seasoning and sprinkling a pinch of salt, I tossed the rice in sideways cutting motion while it cooled down.
Can be eaten without any filling. *mouth waters*
Our first round - not bad.
Psst! If the sushi don't look nice, we'll just eat them (we ate about four not-so-pretty ones) so people will think we'd wrapped them all beautifully like a pro. Smart, right? HAHAHAHAHAHA.
This is my favourite! Topped with tuna and filled with egg and cucumber, you'll get ALBERT EINSTEIN! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. *continues to laugh like a hyena*
Third round. Egg and cucumber strips. Almost done!
Tadaa! x3 I just |uUrV3xXx it. Heeheeheehee...
A batch with mushrooms and eggs and another batch filled with cucumbers and eggs.
The tuna batch. ;) Contains eggs and cucumbers. The two "sleeping" sushi are the limited editions. Only two in the world - tuna, cucumbers, eggs, mushrooms and our |uUrV3xXx. Specially made for grandpa and grandma. ;3
The not-so-special-but-still-special edition batch - lots of egg-strips and cucumbers capped with mushroom slices. =)
And we're done!Not to brag but, everyone (in our family) - even our bro - said they were great (yay!) and tasted like the real ones. I hope they really loved it from the bottom of their heart and not just saying it's nice because we're related to them. Not even a single sushi is left and I'd only eaten three. =/Will make more next time to bring to school and we'll have a feast! x]

Happy 15th Birthday, Lix-Lix!
Don't worry, I didn't forget about your BIG day. HAHAHAHA. I remember the first time I saw you, sitting there in class, drawing on your pencil case with a marker (I hope you still remember that) when we were Standard 2. I was so scared 'cause you'd looked so fierce like a tiger, staring at people with your huge eyes (what??? it's a compliment!). Now, I'm not even afraid of you if I saw you standing there holding an axe, waiting to chop my neck down. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Friends for life, Lix!God has something great in store for you.
Like PMR.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
