Avocado Sushi Roll

Sometimes, I just have to have Sushi.

I was really craving for Sushi so I made rolls at home.
Although I didn't have any Sashimi to roll, it was still gooooood.

I rolled cucumbers so it is crunchy inside.
On the top of the roll, I put sliced avocado and some mayonnaise.

Here are things you need to make this roll...

Steamed Rice ( I use Sushi Rice.)
Sushi Vinegar
Seaweed paper ( Nori )
Cucumbers ( Slice in half lengthwise, then cut into long strips )
Avocado 2 or more sliced

On sushi roll mat, put plastic wrap on.
Then put thin layer of Sushi-Rice on the mat.
Put cucumbers on the edge of the rice layer then roll.
Slice your sushi then put avocado on it.

In the ziploc, put some mayonnaise in it.
cut the corner( Tiny tiny cut ) then squeeze on the sushi.

You can mix Wasabi with Mayonnaise. It is good that way.

See, making Sushi Rolls is not difficult at all.

Spicy Stir Fry

When I have many vegetables I want to use soon, I make stir fry.

Many people think "Stir Fry is NOT healthy.

Maybe because they ate some greasy ones.

Stir Fry can be very LIGHT and HEALTHY.

Because, I only use 1 Table Spoon of Oil. That's all.

The key is to use Teflon Pan. This Pan doesn't stick your food to your pan so you don't need to use much oil. You may want to use this pan on Mid-High heat so you don't break the coating. If you prefer WOK, you may need more oil but still, you don't need much.

Crispy Chinese Chicken Salad

Where we live has been very hot everyday so we often eat a big salad for dinner.

To make us full, I add meat or noodles most of the time.

This time I used CHOW MEIN NOODLES and MANDARIN ORANGE.

 It made the salad extraordinary!

I loved the crunchiness of the noodles and the sweetness of the orange.

I made dressing slightly sweet and it was very nice so I'm going to share the recipe.

( Chinese Salad Dressing )

Sushi Vinegar 1/4C

( you can use Rice Vinegar or White Vinegar. Just add a little sugar. )

Brown Sugar  1 Table spoon

White Sesame Seed  2 Table spoons

S&P

Sesame Oil 1 tea spoon

Canola Oil  1 Table spoon

Just mix everything together.
Mix Lettuce and Chicken in the bowl. Right before you eat, add Dressing on the top.
Then add mandarin Orange and Noodles on the top.

This is going to be a traditional salad of our house.
