Recipe:
For the "rice"- full head of cauliflower riced, 2 or 3 tablespoons cream cheese, teaspoon of sesame oil and a few drops of rice vinegar (the "rice" will be tasty still without the sauces, they help though)

Chopped (into thin strands) cucumber, carrot, avocado

And sushi-grade salmon (got mine from a Kroger, in Ohio, and it was so fresh and yummy)

I also just bought and used this sushi bazooka! I usually roll my rolls manually, but this device makes extremely consistent rolls and is definitely neater and cleaner than manually building.
Whattttt! It's only $5 right now

Watch this video and learn how to construct the roll.

I also sometimes add a line or 5 or sriracha on top of the ingredients before closing the bazooka.

Hope you enjoy!
Can also sub out salmon for tofu, crab, whatever. I also add green or yellow pepper to my rolls sometimes, too.

these are also awesome and make eating eggs fun. http://www.amazon.com/Heart-Shape-Sushi-Decorating-Fondant/dp/B00CHH04KK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1396952885&sr=8-2&keywords=egg+mold

The dishes are called 銘々皿（めいめいざら） and AFAIK they are used for individual pieces of food, mostly wagashi (japanese sweets). For example, this item looks rather similar to what you have.

No idea about the insignia.

Ah yes! Perfect! We would then make our heist preparations by slowly sneaking in explosives all around the place in these:https://www.amazon.com/JapanBargain-S-1574-Roller-Bamboo-10-5-inch/dp/B001F8O9U8/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?crid=3RV35LVBLQMQS&keywords=sushi+roller&qid=1550633502&s=gateway&sprefix=sushi+&sr=8-6,
Which we later hold the whole sushi joint hostage with, so that they can make us endless sushi!

Oh my god I'm so sorry about your puppy. ;_; a bajillion hugs I can't imagine that, I'd completely break down if I lost my dog.

I nominate /u/cats_and_vibrators for a wishlist item. She's amazing and I love her. She is always there for everyone, super supportive and caring. She deserves everything. Love you Maggie. <3

If I win I would love the kindle, I've had the paperwhite on my Maybe Someday... list for a while now. I love reading and having that would be amazing.

Congrats on the apartment! I love household-y stuff. You definitely need a good knife set!

And this awesome ice mold.

Mixing bowls are essential, and these are my favourite.

Cutest sushi service ever!

And for when you finally get a minute to relax, this bath oil would be perfect.

Thank you for the wonderful contest! I hope you have a really great week. :]

I think a cheapo one-switch rice cooker is always needed. A really good vegetable peeler. Hand held vegetable spiralizer. A tomato knife (I use it for most everything). A fish spatula if you can use metal with your pans. I love my cast iron comal (tortillas, arepas, gorditas, pancakes, crepes, eggs, grilled cheese, and as a pizza stone in the oven). I got a plastic sushi roll mold and then a wood one—awesome—makes doing sushi rolls and gimbap at home painless (but a lateral press mold only not a bazooka model—here is the narrow one and check YouTube for how to use it https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Sales-HSSM-FTMKSM-Japanese-Accessories/dp/B07NK85RKV). I love this thing: https://www.amazon.com/Cremafacile-Milk-Frother-by-Biesse/dp/B002U7F00G We use an immersion blender for soups and whipped cream and all sorts of stuff but those have gotten more expensive lately.

I bought my wife these plastic egg molds that make shapes like heart, car, animals etc for bento boxes. Works great as long as you have the right sized eggs.

Of course - The only essential ingredients are just kim (dried seaweed sheets, aka "nori" in Japanese, the same kind you use for sushi rolls) and bap (rice), hence the name "kimbap", literally translated to "seaweed rice". Think of it as an Asian sandwich - just like you would put any ingredients you want between two slices of bread to make a sandwich, you do the same wrapped in rice and seaweed to make kimbap. The ones I made here are pretty traditional ingredients, except I used Bulgogi for the meat instead of simple sauteed beef.

All the ingredients in the middle:
Bulgogi
Sauteed carrots, julienned (just a little oil, salt, and pepper)
Blanched spinach
Fried egg cut into long strips
Danmuji (Korean pickled raddish)

Tips: use short-grain sticky rice (Sushi rice) and while the rice is still hot, add a couple of drops of rice vinegar and a sprinkle of sugar while fanning it out and mixing quickly (to air out the strong vinegar taste). This keeps the rice from drying out and adds a little sweetness to the rolls.

Once you have all the ingredients prepared, lay out the kim on a bamboo roller and spread the rice evenly to cover the bottom 3/4 of the kim (the rice should be cooled by now, do not use hot rice as the steam will make the kim soggy.)

Lay out all the ingredients in horizontal strips in the middle of the rice. Gently lift the bottom end of the bamboo roller and roll from the bottom. This will take some practice.

Once the kimbap is tightly rolled, rub a drop of sesame oil on the outside and slice them into about 3/4 inch pieces.

That's it! It does take a bit of time from start to finish but it's so worth it!

I think i'll try spicy tuna kimbap next. I'll try to post progress pics as well.

Enjoy!

(I hope that wasn't too long)

I don't know what kind of sushi maker you're talking about, but this is how I do it at home:

This is the only equipment I use. I put that on a flat surface, then i put a square piece of sushi paper (nari? nori? the seaweed) on it. THen, I personally do a layer of sticky rice, cucumber, cream cheese, and imitation crab. Roll using the bamboo mat. Make sure the seaweed ends overlap and perss together tightly, otherwise you will have a sushi mess on the floor. I usually let the whole roll sit while I make the others. Once all full rolls are done, I cut to desired width.

A 10-pack of seaweed is about $5, plus the other things.... I dunno. Let's say $10. For $10 I usually can make about 30-45 sushi circles + end scraps from the larger rolls (which are fun to snack on while making the full rolls)

Totally worth it. But you don't need a kit. The bamboo roller is SUPER helpful though.

Here you go. Will need to seal the edges of the bottom but it should work

Do you suggest getting a sushi mat or a kit like this or are they pretty much a waste of money?

Dang that sucks. If you can find thinly cut beef, pork, lettuce, rice, sesame oil, and garlic maybe you can buy one of those korean bbq grills and try that? Let me know!

Happy Birthday!!
I know my wife would love these, so maybe you would too! Sushi gift set
Happy Birthday /u/LadyAmpersand hope your day is amazing as well!

Yay for gifts

Is the sun still up in Alaska?

this sushi rolling kit

I would love to learn how to make my own sushi!! But I ever think to actually buy it myself 🍣

Here is how I cheat when I make sushi: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR26VE3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_V16QzbB5KW47D

I noticed you have a Bento box, so you could use some rice molds. I don't know if you've ever made rice balls, but it's easier than you'd think, stores well, and makes a good lunch. There are a lot of other cool bento things under $5.

I've always wanted bamboo sushi rollers!

Glitter is the herpes of the crafting world. It gets EVERYWHERE, and there's nothing you can do about it.

OMG I HAD TOO MUCH TROUBLE JUST PICKING ONE!!!!!! ^^please ^^don't ^^hurt ^^me

Bam!
If you go to an organic market, or farmers market you can generally get good ingredients that are fresh. As for the fish you would want to hit up an asian market, or even Costco! I got some fresh Sashimi"Tuna" the other day from Costco and its super good!
Generally you can make sushi with anything :) A basic sushi normally has Rice, carrots, celery, avocado, and tuna all wrapped up in Nori "Seaweed". But you can spice it up with crab,squid, onions, cream cheese" i like to mix Siracha with it" , sesame seeds, fried wontons, or whatever sounds yummy!!
The beauty of cooking is that there isn't a wrong way to do it!! If a combination of stuff sounds good, try it!
And your gonna want to get a bamboo sushi roller as well. Heres a reference~

Two happy girls in a horrible drawing!
