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.

  1. Yum! Delightful! I don't know sriracha, so I'm now going to go and look it up...

  2. Anna, I love the new layout of the blog! Also, your sushi looks amazing! Sushi-making apparatus is now on my wish list because you made it look so easy (and so beautiful).

  3. Michelle, we'll have to make something to put sriracha on!

    Thanks lb! Glad you like the re-design -- I thought it might make spring come faster. No need for an expensive kit; all you really need is a sturdy bamboo mat! We've made it a bunch of times but this is the first time for "the public."
