During the holidays….
Song on laptop : Neon by John Mayer
I still remember times in school when after a long vacation,our english teachers would ask us to write about our holidays…I used to hate writting those essays…Sometimes it makes you realize that your holidays have not been so great after all…Wat is a weekend in another country compared to just sitting at home watching tv everyday?Makes you feel that your holidays is nothing worth writting about…hahah…
And today im sitting here wondering what to blog about(coz im too bored at home) so i thought,hey,why not write about my holidays…like old days in school…Not that my holidays is anything fun or interesting,something worth to write about..But no harm in writting about it right?
Well,i havent been going out alot this holidays…Its due to many reasons i believe…One big reason is because i dont have the car this time…both my parents are working,one in the morning,the other in the afternoon…So at those times,they would always need the car.Then another factor that most of my friends have went back to college dy…and furthermore,there isnt any nice place to go shop in kuching.I hate shopping alone.My mum isnt much of a shopper so she ussually wont want to follow me go shopping…so sumtimes i just dont have the mood to go out…After all,when else will i have the chance to laze around at home,wake up in the afternoon and watch tv and dvds at home the whole time???Once college starts again,i will be sitting in front of the books…no time to laze around…So better make use of this chance wisely,right??
Ive been helping alot in the kitchen,learning how to cook different and harder dishes,like stew chicken and pork…i also learned how to make sushi…hehe….I have no idea what caused my mum to be such a sushi-maker fanatic.so ive been her helping hand and the other day i was main chef…heheh…found out that it isnt so hard to make sushi after all…and the ingredients arent hard to find…Ive come up with my own steps to make sushi below…
Ingredients
For the rice
4 cups of fragrant rice
apple cider or rice vinegar
salt and sugar to taste
pieces of seaweed
cucumber,cut long
artificial crab stick,cut into halves
tuna
fried egg
(any other stuffings u like)
sushi mat
roller
Direction
1.cook the rice.Once cooked,let it stand for 10 minutes.After that,add a few tablespoons of sugar and a few pinches of salt,according to taste…Then add 2 capfuls of apple cider.Mix
2. let the rice cool down
3. Get ready the other ingredients
4. Once
the rice have cooled down,cover the sushi mat with plastic.Put the seaweed on top of it…Then spread the rice on 3/4 of the seaweed piece.Then,putting another piece of plastic on top,roll the rice with a roller to get a even,flat,thin layer of rice…make sure you cover the edge of the seaweed too.
5. remove the top plastic and place the stuffings about 5cm fr the edge nearer to your side.
6. Once done,roll the seaweed over and pull on the other side to make the sushi compact.Once done,cut the sushi to be serve…
