    Handrolls....
    Have standard nori sheets and typically am using half sheets
    Have packs of soy paper sheets, which come pre-cut and very easy to use.  I have long been obsessed with soy paper hand rolls, the wife prefers nori rolls.

    Generally make cones but sometimes just straight roll it up like a cigar and eat.

    Make Rice or No-Rice handrolls....again, wife and I differ.  She prefers rice in there, I prefer no rice.

    Ingredients have been a mixing and matching of sorts:
    • Salmon (fish cut into thin strips)
    • Tuna (fish cut into thin strips)
    • Spicy Tuna (odd pieces of tuna cut into small chunks...kewpie mayo, lemon, hot sauce, scallions, sesame oil)
    • Flying Fish Roe
    • Salmon Roe
    • Radish sprouts
    • Clover sprouts
    • Cucumbers
    • Avocado
    • Asparagus
    • Mango
    • Sushi Rice (revive the sushi rice from fridge/lay bamboo mat over boiling pot and steam rice back to temp on mat)
    • Scallions
    • Sesame Seeds
    • Kewpie Mayo
    • Wasabi (fake)

    The Maki, just do what is above....in some cases put rice on outside, some in.  Hand roll = 100x easier and faster, being that it has been a long while since we used to make sushi at home frequently.  (Back in 2005-2010 in CA, hit a stage where we did this probably once a week, on top of our weekly reservation at our favorite sushi bar)

    Also - would love to find a relatively easy way to get some real wasabi but guessing that is pricey.  I think I can order from the place we ordered the fish eggs so next time may do that.  I know a few here have shared it -- real wasabi = totally different thing.

    When we did home sushi before I would buy a small piece of salmon, yellowtail, and tuna....maybe half a pound all total.  Not 4 pounds of amazing stuff like this.  Truly a game changer.

    I don't know about wasabi, but I know lots of foodie ingredients are easiest/cheapest to find as seeds to grow your own...

    I like that reminder -- would seem simple but I didn't think of this....I think wasabi grows in different environments but will look into it!

    Doesn't look like a particularly easy or hard project... definitely a labor of love that would be appreciated by a sushi snob like you lol
    Looks like maybe a good company just to get wasabi from either way.

    Round 2.
    Did mostly sashimi and didn't picture out as much.  Did take a few....poke tomorrow, I believe.

    My inside out game needs lots of work.  A number of years ago I could make a mean one.  Now it was big and chunky - but tasted very good.


    That hand roll looks amazing. Great job. And you're right, eating them right after being rolled is the way to go- when the nori is still very crispy. I've never tried the soy sheets that you mentioned...might check them out.

    I bought fresh Wasabi a while back and it was ridiculously expensive, but if you're dropping 300-400 on premium fish it's definitley worth it. It has to be grated and used immediately bc once it gets exposed to oxygen it starts to lose its flavor.

    Thanks!

    Yeah I remember when you shared that you got some of the fresh wasabi.
