I've noticed a lot of people will just make up their own sushi rolls when they go to a sushi restaurant. So if you were to make your ideal sushi roll, what would it be?

I saw one the other night that looked tasty. Tuna, salmon, cucumber, and spicy mayo rolled reserve with tempura bits on the outside.

soft shell crab rolled in hundred dollar bills

11/2/2010 10:23:49 AM

I don't think hundred dollar bills would taste very good

11/2/2010 10:24:14 AM

I want a bagel roll, but instead of salmon, i want crab or eel in it. yum!

11/2/2010 10:28:01 AM

mango. tuna. little bit of salmon. avocado. and very, very, very little rice (like 1/4 of what they normally give you).

11/2/2010 10:53:38 AM

I just made a shit ton of sushi myself on Saturday.

Those both sound really good.

Damn, y'all are just making me hungry now.

Uni with quail egg and salmon roe. Some restaurants have it, but I have to make a special request at other restaurants. It's probably the most amazing roll ever.

11/2/2010 11:00:05 AM

God I hate uni and ikura lol

They make those at Waraji.

11/2/2010 11:01:41 AM

But do they have that awesome sweet sauce on it?? The yummy sticky brown stuff?? It rocks my socks.

11/2/2010 11:03:08 AM

The eel sauce? Yeah if you ask them to put it on top they will. All that shit is is soy sauce and high fructose corn syrup

11/2/2010 11:04:45 AM

Is this a troll thread?

11/2/2010 11:06:07 AM

spicy tuna handjob

11/2/2010 11:06:53 AM

3^mmmmmmHFCS

11/2/2010 11:08:43 AM

I wish they had a brand that didn't have HFCS in it I could make it myself but that's way too much effort lol.

11/2/2010 11:09:33 AM

I figured it was soy sauce based. I heart it like crazy. I want a bottle of it to keep at home.

11/2/2010 11:11:26 AM

They sell it at pretty much every Asian market I've been to in the area.

11/2/2010 11:11:57 AM

brb, lol

11/2/2010 11:12:16 AM

Another sushi I like the inside is yellowtail, cucumber, and eel, rolled reverse, and laid on top is shrimp with garlic, mayo, and eel sauce that they then take a blowtorch to until the mayo gets a nice golden brown color.

holy shit, can anyone say salmonella

11/2/2010 11:18:52 AM

This has inspired me to make sushi for dinner. There apparently is not an Asian grocery store near us now though, or at least one that I can find.

11/2/2010 11:28:25 AM

Where do you live?

11/2/2010 11:30:24 AM

i make my own sushi.

i kill a fish

i gut it

i throw it over rice

boom

11/2/2010 11:30:46 AM

most decent grocery stores will carry nori, sushi rice and vinegar

11/2/2010 11:31:42 AM

There was an asian supermarket beside Mac's Tavern in Cary. Did it close?

11/2/2010 11:33:22 AM

I have nori, sushi rice and vinegar. I want some pickled radish or something else interesting, wasabi and Sriracha that aren't $$$/shitty at the grocery store, and also some eel etc. for my boyfriend. But he said he can live without it so I guess we are doing veggies, tofu and crab and maybe salmon or something. I have the day to figure that out. We are in Morrisville. Grand Asia isn't too far but I don't feel like driving out there in traffic so will probably just hit up HT.

[Edited on November 2, 2010 at 11:35 AM. Reason : ^ S Mart. It's still open but I'm no longer out there. And it sucks.]

11/2/2010 11:34:56 AM

There's a couple of Asian markets in and around Morrisville.

11/2/2010 11:38:04 AM

I am not having luck with Google but also haven't looked incredibly hard yet. I will keep looking. We are pretty close to the Durham line, off McCrimmon.

11/2/2010 11:38:52 AM

Are you close to Brier Creek. The one over there is pretty good if you're just looking for stuff like sriracha and pickles.

11/2/2010 11:39:50 AM

Food Lion on Avent Ferry now carries sushi... I know nothing of the quality since I don't like sushi. figured I'd let y'all know.

11/2/2010 11:40:14 AM

I don't even trust regular fish at Food Lion, I can't imagine eating raw fish from there

11/2/2010 11:52:01 AM

^elitist. I'm still around.

11/2/2010 11:55:02 AM

When it comes to food poisoning from fish I don't mind being an elitist I usually buy my pork from Food Lion though.

11/2/2010 12:06:04 PM

^^It's not really elitist, or even a position unique to people who make sushi. I love Food Lion but you should be no means use their fish for raw preparation--if you're going to use raw fish you need to get the highest quality and freshness you can afford, and Food Lion is not the place to go for that when it comes to fish.

11/2/2010 1:34:10 PM

peanut butter and jelly

11/2/2010 1:35:35 PM

I'm normally not a big fan of soy sauce, but I had some recently that was delicious.

Please recommend soy sauces to me, TWW--not Kikkoman obviously.

11/2/2010 1:53:24 PM

I seriously Daikou Soy Sauce but have no idea where you can get it around here. Need to see if they'll do mail order or something.

11/2/2010 1:56:29 PM

fried soft shelled crab with fried shrimp with eel with white sauce all covered in those orange fish eggs...

11/2/2010 2:14:19 PM

I made sushi for the first time Friday night! I cheated though and cooked the shrimp so I wouldn't kill my husband and I.






I like all the adventurous stuff when I go get sushi though. Speaking of which... I have a groupon for sushi! Yum!

11/2/2010 2:21:39 PM

This thread inspired me to have sushi for lunch

11/2/2010 3:21:59 PM

We made a couple rolls with various combinations of cucumber, avocado, daikon, carrot, asparagus, red bell pepper, sprouts, fried tofu, shrimp and imitation crab(lol). Plus sesame seeds, sriracha and "rice seasoning" that was little dried shrimp bits and nori flakes or something. Also had some edamame and dumplings and a salad with ginger dressing.

I have been saying I wanted to make sushi for a while. Thanks for the motivation

11/2/2010 8:51:50 PM

I like crunchy spicy tuna rolls.

11/2/2010 9:09:52 PM

Think I might get sushi tonight.

11/5/2010 1:51:39 PM

they made me this last night

I tried sushi with marscapone cheese added to it for the first time. It was tres tasty.

11/23/2010 2:38:40 PM

sushi cravings are killing me

11/27/2010 3:01:38 PM

is there non-seafood sushi?

11/27/2010 3:14:51 PM

they have veggie sushi, i know, not sure about anything else though

11/27/2010 3:17:46 PM

Who is they and what is this?

11/27/2010 3:21:12 PM

they is everyone who makes sushi, usually

popular types of veggie sushi

Quote :

" * Cucumber, cream cheese and avocado: This vegetarian sushi has the perfect combination of smooth and crunchy textures. Keep in mind that it is higher fat than some of the other vegetarian options because the cream cheese and avocado are both fat-laden. * Tofu and Green Onions: This protein-packed sushi is low fat and delicious. You can try using fresh or dried tofu for variations on this classic. * Mushrooms: While many types of mushrooms are popular in vegetarian sushi, the small size and shape of the Shitake makes it ideal for this preparation. * Roasted eggplant and zucchini: For a hearty vegetarian sushi, try roasted or grilled eggplant and zucchini. The bold flavors are satisfying, but the resulting sushi is very low fat and healthy. * Carrots, daikon radish and cucumber: If what you want in your sushi is big crunch, this may be the choice for you. All three of these vegetables are prepared in thin slivers and wrapped into the center of a sushi roll, that is then sliced. The daikon has a spicy bite to it that is perfectly complemented by the sweet carrot and refreshing cucumber. Often, the daikon sprouts are used, as well. * Tempura sushi: Sometimes sushi is battered and deep fried, tempura style. Vegetarian tempura works quite well with carrots, eggplant, zucchini and sweet potato. * Egg sushi: Japanese scrambled eggs, called Oboro, are often used in vegetarian sushi. For those vegetarians who eat eggs, it is not only delicious, but a good source of protein. "
