 Today I recreated a California Roll. I started by cooking the rice as usual then mixed in the rice vinegar. After that I added in crab, cucumber, and avocado. I then rolled it together. (Always put plastic wrap over your roller to keep it clean.) My finished product is on the left and the roll from Wegman is on the right. When I first tasted the store bought sushi roll I noticed that: The store bought sushi was rolled really tightly and when I ate it the roll did not fall apart. When I first tasted my homemade sushi roll I noticed that: The homemade roll was falling apart and when I ate it I noticed it was too wet. Next time I will control how much vinegar I put on so it's not so moist.            The link below is a recipe for a California Roll. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/189477/california-roll-sushi/

  Today I practiced rolling my sushi so I could make tight rolls. The tighter the roll the less it will fall apart. To roll a sushi roll you need to gently compress as you roll it and make sure it stays together. The roll will fall apart if the sushi rice is too moist though. It got difficult to make it very tight because there was so much stuff I needed to pack into the roll. and it ended up falling apart quite a few times before I got it right finally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swGJ2dIu9XE&feature=emb_logo

 Today I created a bowl of sushi rice vinegar. The vinegar is put on sushi rice to give the rice more flavor. typical rice vinegar consists of 4 tbsp. of rice vinegar, 3 tbsp. of sugar, and 1tsp. of salt. This is the basics for making sushi because you need to first make the rice. After making it it should taste like a sweet vinegar. https://norecipes.com/sushi-rice-recipe/

  Today I cut avocados. The tricky part about cutting avocados is how they are round so you have to cut them in half. Many people cut themselves trying to cut an avocado so you need to be really careful. Once I cut the avocado in half I sliced it up into small slices(top right of picture) and they were the perfect size for a sushi roll. The link below shows how to properly cut an avocado. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video;_ylt=
