Dinner: Friday, May 21




Homemade sushi!
  • Sushi rice
  • avocado
  • Swedish cod roe paste in a tube (IKEA)
  • Pickled burdock root*
  • Pickled daikon*
  • Umaboshi (picked plums)*
  • Shiso leaves*
  • Salted salmon roe*
  • Leftover greens from last night's dinner
  • Green onion
  • Smoked Salmon
Favorite combos:

Cod roe/avocado maki
Shiso / umaboshi maki
Shiso / salmon roe hand rolls
Burdock maki (smoky umami goodness)
Pickled Daikon nigiri (w/a nori belt)--the texture reminded us of giant clam (mirugai)
Leftover greens nigiri

*The exotic supplies are from a junket to Uwajimaya about a week ago. I only wish there was one closer. What a gas. Gotta take Rachel and Mario for a field trip. We'll spend hours.
