Sushi


A nice and healty dish. Some says that it's too complicated to make it, but all you need it's just to concetrate and then bang....you're there.
Love it...

200 gr. sushi rice, cooked
100 gr. fresh/smoke salmon, cut in line
100 gr. fresh tuna, cut in line
5 sheet sushi nori
1 green cucumber, cut in line
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. wasabi
2 tbsp. pickle ginger
2 tbsp. salty soya

Cook rice and when it's done pour the vinegar and mix ittogether. Prepare the nori on a bamboo roller or use baking paper if you don't have one. Lay rice on the nori with your finger, make you finger wet so it doesn't stick. Use finger tip to put wasabi on in line, the fish on and cucumber. Start roll it carefully until the nori closed together. Cut it in 4 pieces.
Dip it in the soya and eat it with the ginger.

You can always make it with prawn or smoke fish if you dont like raw fish. If you buy fresh tuna that haven't been frozen, put it in the frezzer for a couple hour to kill the parasit.
Be carefull with using the wasabi because it's kind of strong.

Wrap the beef with silver paper and leve it alone for 15 mnt.

Boil the carrot and the green beans.

fry the shallot onion and garlic with margarine in a small pot, pour the broth in and let it cooked for 15 mnt. Drain the broth and back in the pot, pour the cream and let it cook for 5 mnt. taste with salt and pepper.

Mix the beef, chicken, onion, garlic, 1 tbsp. flour and egg together. make them in to a small meat ball. Boil 1 lt. water, when it's boiling put the meat ball in, when they starting to float, it means it's ready. Fish them up. Put the curry powder in the boiling meatball water. Mix 1 tbsp. cornflour with a litlle water and pour it in the soup. The soup is starting to be thick, taste with salt and pepper. Put the meatball in to the curry sauce.
