Sayōnara (Goodbye)

     Overall this project ended up great and I have learned so much. I started not knowing how to properly cut a carrot and now I can make a Dragon Roll. I have learned cutting techniques, rolling sushi, and how to make different types of sushi. I made a Philly Crab Roll, a California Roll, a Vegetable Roll, a Shrimp Tempura Roll, a Dragon Roll, and Salmon Sashimi. Through this I even designed my own special sauce and put it on my Dragon Roll. If it wasn't challenging enough for me to learn to make proper sushi from the internet, I also took on the risk of creating and learning how to make a blog in order to document my endeavor.

    I realize that it can take 10 years to become a master sushi chef also known as an Itamae which means in front of the board. This was a risky project because I was doing a lot of work in 5 months. Although I haven't mastered becoming a sushi chef I learned how to make sushi and I feel that I have finished knowing more than when I started. I have put so much work into this project in the last 5 months and no matter what I believe I did my best. I hope that the readers of this blog are encouraged to keep on trying for you will get better at what you are passionate about if you do your best. In conclusion this project allowed me to learn more about sushi and advance my sushi techniques and I intend to continue making sushi and improving my techniques.

Here is one last article I want to share. This article is about the intense training it takes to finally achieve lead chef at a sushi restaurant in Japan.

Amarini mo kurabīde wanai (Not Too Crabby)

 Today I tried a Dragon Roll from Umi and it tasted good. The crab was a little hard but it was still flavorful. Also there was a sweet sauce in the Dragon Roll and the avocados were tightly packed together. I noticed that the sushi didn't taste very fresh but the avocado looked nice. Overall this was an okay roll. This is part of my research before I make my own Dragon Roll.

Bejirōru (Veggie Roll)

 Today I made a Veggie Roll. A Veggie Roll is made up of cucumbers, carrots, and an avocado. The veggie roll I made was rolled tightly but the the shredded carrots fell right out of the roll. I would not call my sushi a fail but it sure was close. on the outside it did not look too bad until you realized that half of its ingredients were missing. The Veggie Roll from Wegmans on the other hand looked great and tasted the same as my roll(minus the carrots.) I believe this is a difficult roll because even if you tightly pack the roll it will still fall apart. Here is the recipe I used for my Veggie Roll. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/veggie-sushi-rolls-367009

Kariforuniarōru (California Roll)

Image
 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/
