THIS USED TO BE a good blog, a food blog. What happened to that? I got a job, obviously, and the impetus to post food subsided. So here are the nori rolls I like to make on Fridays (in an exercise of quasi-Catholicism) after I go and get some fresh sashimi.
First, get yourself a can of beer and put it in your Broken Hill stubbie holder. This is a key element to the recipe. For this is about comfort, and the small euphoria of an end to the working week, with alcohol, salty-sweet food, and some delicious carbohydrates.
Wash, and make in your rice cooker, two cups of sushi rice. Mmm, glutinous.
Mix half a cup of mirin and some sugar and salt and mix it about in the rice. Let it cool down for an hour or so. Drink the can of beer, and start relaxing after the week you've had.
Now that the rice is cool, divide it into quarters. Roll out a quarter onto a square of seaweed, squashing it nice and flat, then roll up something in it. I like avocadoes and/or cucumbers, because I'm extremely boring and Australian.
