sriracha and sushi

We had a few colleagues over for homemade sushi and dumplings last weekend. Here are a few shots of the assembly and service:

  The table set with chopsticks from China! 
(Everything else from Target, IKEA, and Crate & Barrel.)


 Two takes on the veggie roll: one with sriracha, one without. 
Avocado, cucumber, carrot, and sprouts.

 The in-house attorney patiently places sushi rice on nori ... 
good thing he's not charging by the hour!

Trader Joe's smoked salmon and a roll ready to be sliced.

A smoked salmon roll ... ready to be rolled.

 Sesame seeds added a key flavor profile.

 The buffet, after feasting.


These purplish dumplings owe their hue to red cabbage 
and my spontaneity.
