Korean Sushi

> I tried my hand at making my own Korean Sushi. It tasted great but I still need to work on the presentation.


I have been trying all sorts of sushi, even made some with short grain brown rice. I am getting a little better at rolling it since I made these.


This is what I used:

pickled daikon
carrots
eggs
rice sticks (seasoned)
crab sticks
fresh spinach leaves
Thai basil

There are many ways to fill it...what are some of your favorites?

My dear daughter did this to our dog, and took this photo. Do you think he likes it? He is so mistreated around here, :D but his is old...she thought he might be chilly!

    Oh, it's 12am right now. I'm starving! haha... I'm planning to make some sushi roll after the CNY trip. You know, after all those meaty meals. The seafood is so expensive during the festive season. Still not sure what to buy. My fridge is all packed with cheesecake that I'm going to bring home with me in a few more days. The weather is quite chilling right now. The rain started 4 days ago and is still on. Got to go now. Chat later. Hope you're having a great day.
    Cheers, Kristy...Zzzzz

    I LOVE sushi! This looks wonderful! It can be so fiddly to make when having to roll it though. I've never made my own sushi - just love eating it haha. I think it's so sweet of your daughter to try and keep your dog warm! :)

    I love sushi but I always leave it to others to make. You are so good to do it yourself and it looks really good. Tucker looks sweet in his blanket. My dog at night has a duvet (with cover) and a blanket, but I suppose it really is very cold here.

    Looks wonderful Linds! I experimented with salad rolls this weekend to great success but have never tried making sushi. I should put that on my list of things to try this year. Thanks for the inspiration.

    The sushi looks awesome! I've never had Korean sushi before but based on the filling...I'm sure I would love it!

    And the dog looks adorable. My dog loves snuggling up under blankets...or clothes...or whatever she can get her paws on, so maybe your dog actually enjoyed it!

    Peggy: thanks, he looks so putout by it, but I don't think he really minds.

    Diane: at least we don't get too cold for him here. The cool weather always seem st spunk him up.

    Kristy: wow you're up late! Sounds like you got everything done for CNY. Have fun with your family and friends, and save me a piece of your cheese cake! Sleep well! BTW: Tucker does look bothered by it! He's funny!

    Belinda: thanks, he is special.

    Jennifurla: he is sweet, thanks

    Betty Ray: they are very healthy too. I'll expect to see these on your blog before too long!

    Rita: It's not so bad once you do it.

    MaryMoh: Thanks, yes he does like the attention, which he is never lacking.

    You are so brave to attempt making these delicious morsels! I have yet to pluck up enough courage to make some:P Love that photo of your dog :D

    Lindsey, I love sushi too! Your sushi looks great and especially healthy.

    Sharon: yes it can be fussy making your own. I think the most trouble besides the rice being so sticky...is getting all the ingredients ready.

    Pru: thanks! Tucker likes it when it gets cool here, he usually perks right up, but you never know at his age he might just need it once in awhile to take the chill off.

    Jenn: thank you! I'm glad you got a chance to stop by.

    Rosita Vargas: thank you for stopping by. I hope you get a chance to try and make your own someday. Thanks my dog is special to us.

    Annon: we like going out for sushi too!

    Lyndsay: don't mention it! I will be looking for yours soon! :D

    Joanne: I'm sure you'd love it, it has more ingredient than Japanese sushi, and usually now raw fish. Lots of veggies! And you know you're right my dog just might like snuggling in a blanket!
